Question 1 of 5

The client experiencing abdominal distention and severe vomiting has just had a nasogastric (NG) tube inserted. When teaching this client which rationale for the use of the NG tube should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decompressing the stomach. The rationale for this is that an NG tube is commonly used to remove excess gas/fluid from the stomach to relieve abdominal distention and vomiting. This helps prevent further complications such as aspiration.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because administering medications, determining pH of gastric secretions, and supplying nutrients are not primary purposes of an NG tube insertion in this scenario. It is essential for the nurse to prioritize teaching the client about the immediate purpose of the NG tube to ensure the client's understanding and cooperation.
