Question 1 of 5

The patient has just been started on an enteral feeding and has developed diarrhea after being on the feeding for 2 hours. What does the nurse suspect is the most likely cause of the diarrhea?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Formula intolerance. Enteral feedings can sometimes cause diarrhea due to the patient's intolerance to the specific formula being used. This can result from the patient's inability to digest certain components of the formula, leading to diarrhea. In this case, since the diarrhea occurred shortly after starting the enteral feeding, formula intolerance is the most likely cause.


Choice A (Clostridium difficile) is incorrect because diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile typically takes longer to develop after exposure.
Choice B (Antibiotic therapy) is incorrect as the patient has just started enteral feeding, making antibiotic therapy less likely to be the cause.
Choice D (Bacterial contamination) is less likely as the onset of diarrhea was rapid, making it less likely to be due to contamination.
