Question

The nurse reviews the nursing care plan developed by a nursing student caring for a client who is receiving continuous tube feedings via a nasogastric (ng) tube. the nurse intervenes if the student documents which intervention in the plan?

Answer 1

The nurse should intervene in a way of telling the student to not keep the feeding bag dry with the use of having it filled with the right amount as the student is feeding the client. It is also best to monitor the placement before administering the food or medication and that it should also be rinsed to promote cleanliness and the health of the client.
