Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent aspiration?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Keep the head of the bed elevated 30–45 degrees. This position helps prevent reflux of gastric contents into the lungs, reducing the risk of aspiration. Gravity assists in keeping the contents of the stomach in place.
Choice B is incorrect because flushing the tube with water does not directly prevent aspiration.
Choice C is incorrect as placing the client in a supine position increases the risk of aspiration.
Choice D is incorrect as checking tube placement only at the start of the shift may not catch dislodgement or displacement that can lead to aspiration.
