Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a group of patients on an adult medical-surgical unit. Which patient should the nurse identify as having the highest risk for aspiration?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Patients receiving enteral feedings via an NG tube are at high risk for aspiration due to impaired swallowing mechanisms and potential misplacement of the tube, which can allow formula to enter the lungs. Colostomies and ileostomies affect lower digestive tracts, not airway protection. Chest tubes address pleural space issues, not aspiration risk.
