Following surgery to the head and neck, a client is receiving gavage feedings through a nasogastric tube. A family member asks why this is necessary. The best response by the nurse would be: Select one: a. "The tube feedings prevent aspiration of food into the lungs." b. "The tube feedings reduce the risk of infection and allow healing." c. "Let me show you how to do a gavage. It will make you less anxious." d. "You seem concerned. You probably will not have to do this at home."
