Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a 2-month-old infant who has gastroesophageal reflux. The parents are feeding the infant formula. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the infant at a 30-degree angle after feedings uses gravity to reduce reflux. Bedtime feeding, infrequent feedings, and soy formula without allergy indication worsen or don't address reflux.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer three medications to a child who is receiving continuous enteral feedings via a gastrostomy tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diluting viscous medications with water prevents clogging and ensures delivery. Flushing with formula, adding to the bag, or combining medications risks interactions or blockages.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an enteral feeding to a preschooler who has a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Elevating the bed to 45 degrees prevents aspiration and aids digestion. Cold formula causes discomfort, 3 mL/min is too slow, and discarding residuals risks electrolyte loss unless excessive.
