Answer:

Carefully monitoring the nasogastric tube to ensure that the tube is patent and the suction is working.

Explanation:

Ensuring that the nasogastric tube is patent and that the suction is working properly are priorities for the postoperative client to prevent retention of gastric secretions that may lead to abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, and further serious complications. Advancing the tube to the original insertion depth if the tube becomes dislodged is not recommended. Improper reinsertion may result in the aspiration of gastric contents. Vigorous irrigation of the nasogastric tube, even if clogged, is not recommended because this can cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Finally, the presence of bright red gastric aspirant in the suction canister for the first 24 hours after surgery is a normal finding in the postoperative period.
