The correct answer is: ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube should prevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract starts to function properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.
