Nutrition, Tube Feeding, Enemas & Ostomy Care — Nursing Revision

1. Short-Term Nutrition When Oral Feeding Is Not Appropriate

Question: The nurse is monitoring a patient following oral surgery and prepares to deliver
nutrition ordered by the primary health care provider. Which of the following is the best
method of delivering nutrition on a short term basis when oral feedings are not appropriate?

A. Nasogastric tube feeding
B. Gastrostomy tube feeding
C. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
D. Peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN)

CORRECT ANSWER: A. Nasogastric tube feeding

Rationale: A nasogastric (NG) tube provides enteral nutrition for patients who cannot safely
take food orally but have a functioning gastrointestinal tract. It is appropriate for short-term
feeding. Gastrostomy tubes are generally used for longer-term enteral feeding.



2. Most Serious Complication of Tube Feeding

Question: The nurse is caring for a patient with a feeding tube and is carefully monitoring the
patient for potential complications. What is the most serious complication of tube feedings?

A. Aspirated stomach content
B. Fluid imbalance
C. Tube displacement
D. Dehydration

CORRECT ANSWER: A. Aspirated stomach content

Rationale: Aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs can cause aspiration pneumonia and
severe respiratory complications. Prevent aspiration by verifying tube placement, maintaining
appropriate head elevation, and monitoring the patient.
