Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who receives intermittent enteral feedings through an NG tube. Before administering a feeding,the nurse should measure the gastric residual for which of the following purposes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C:
To identify delayed gastric emptying. Measuring gastric residual helps assess how much of the previous feeding remains in the stomach, indicating delayed gastric emptying. This information guides adjustments in feeding schedules and volumes.
Choice A is incorrect as gastric residual isn't removed to prevent dyspepsia.
Choice B is incorrect as confirming NG tube placement is typically done through X-ray or pH testing, not by measuring residual.
Choice D is incorrect as electrolyte balance isn't directly assessed through gastric residual measurement.
