Question 1: Which among the following is NOT a purpose of a nasogastric tube (NGT)? a. Administering tube feedings b. Suctioning contents from the stomach and airway c. Obtain samples for laboratory analysis d. Lavage the stomach if the patient has poisoning

To answer this question, we need to identify the purpose of a nasogastric tube (NGT). The purpose of an NGT includes administering tube feedings, suctioning contents from the stomach and airway, obtaining samples for laboratory analysis, and lavage the stomach if the patient has poisoning. Therefore, we need to identify the option that is NOT a purpose of an NGT.

The correct answer is d. Lavage the stomach if the patient has poisoning. This is NOT a purpose of an NGT.

Question 13: In what position should you place the client in when inserting an NGT? a. Semi-Fowler’s b. Side-lying c. High Fowler’s d. Tripod

To answer this question, we need to determine the appropriate position for the client when inserting an NGT. The correct answer is c. High Fowler's. Placing the client in a high Fowler's position helps facilitate the insertion of the NGT.

Question 14: As you are inserting the tube, the patient starts to gag. What would be your initial action? a. Stop and let the client rest b. Withdraw slightly and advance again c. Have the client tilt their head forward d. Remove and lubricate the tube

To answer this question, we need to determine the appropriate initial action when the patient starts to gag during the insertion of the tube. The correct answer is c. Have the client tilt their head forward. This action helps prevent the tube from entering the trachea and stimulates the gag reflex, reducing the risk of aspiration.
