Question 1 of 5
The nurse teaches a preoperative client about the nasogastric (NG) tube that will be inserted in preparation for surgery. The nurse determines that the client understands when the tube will be removed during the postoperative period based on which statement by the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: NG tubes are discontinued when normal function returns to the GI tract. Although the surgeon determines when the NG tube will be removed, 'When my doctor says so' does not determine the effectiveness of teaching. Food would not be administered unless bowel function returns. The tube will be removed well before GI healing occurs.
