Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is receiving continuous enteral tube feedings through an open system. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Flush the tubing with 30 mL of water every 4 hr. This intervention helps prevent tube occlusion and maintain tube patency. Flushing the tubing with water ensures that the feeding solution flows smoothly through the tube and into the client's stomach. This action also helps prevent the buildup of residue in the tubing, reducing the risk of clogs and blockages. Maintaining bed elevation at 30 degrees (choice
A) is not specific to enteral feedings. Checking for gastric residual every 12 hr (choice
C) is important but not as immediate as flushing the tubing. Placing enough formula in the container to last 18 hr (choice
D) does not address tube maintenance.
