27. A patient is discharged home with an enteral feeding tube.
Which nursing action is most appropriate for determining the
correct placement of the patient's enteral tube? (I think the
right answer is A)
a. Tests aspirated tube contents for pH level. b. Auscultates
the patient's abdomen for bowel sounds before each feeding. c.
Instills air into the tube to check for placement and patency
before each feeding. d. Arranges for the patient to have an x-ray
performed periodically.
