Provider Prescriptions
Day 1, 1800: Administer enteral formula 120 mL every 6 hr via NG feeding tube.
Which findings suggest the nurse should hold the tube feeding?
- ✓Absent bowel sounds, distention
- ✓Gastric residual 350 mL
- pH of gastric aspirate 4.5
- SpO₂ 96% on room air
Expert Rationale
High gastric residual and distention indicate delayed emptying — hold the feeding. pH 4.5 confirms proper placement; SpO₂ is normal.
