Question 1 of 5
A small-bore feeding tube is placed. Which technique will the nurse use to best verify tube placement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: X-ray. X-ray is the most reliable method to verify the placement of a small-bore feeding tube as it allows direct visualization of the tube's position in the gastrointestinal tract. Auscultation may not always accurately confirm tube placement. Aspiration of contents can be misleading due to residual contents in the stomach. pH testing is not specific for tube placement verification. X-ray provides definitive confirmation and ensures safe and effective feeding tube placement.
