The statement is "It will help to remove gas and fluids from my stomach and intestine."

<h3>What purpose of the nasogastric tube?</h3>
  • A nasogastric tube (NG tube) is a unique tube that travels through the nose to the stomach to deliver food and medications. It can be used to all feedings or to provide an individual with more calories.
  • The goal of treating intestinal obstruction is to decompress the gut by removing fluid and gas. The stomach and bowel can be decompressed using nasogastric tubes.
  • Constant gastric suction does not supply nutrition. Tracheal suctioning—not stomach suctioning—is used to get rid of extra mucus that has caused congestion.
  • Although it is possible to send stomach contents for laboratory analysis, continuous gastric suction does not serve this function primarily.

What nursing care should be included for a client who is receiving doxorubicin for acute myelogenous leukemia
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Stomatitis and hyperuricemia are possible complications of therapy; therefore, oral care and hydration are important. Food and fluids with extremes in temperature should be avoided because of the common occurrence of stomatitis. Emphasizing that the disease will be cured with this treatment may provide false reassurance. Abnormal bleeding is a common problem, and thus injections are contraindicated; rest is important for increased fatigability.
