A nurse is caring for a client who has a PEG tube and is receiving intermittent
feedings. Prior to initiating the feeding, which of the following actions should the
nurse take first? - ANSWERS-The nurse should apply the ABC priority-setting
framework. This framework emphasizes the basic core of human functioning:
having an open airway, being able to breathe in adequate amounts of oxygen, and
circulating oxygen to the body's organs via the blood. An alteration in any of these
can indicate a threat to life and is therefore the nurse's priority concern. When
applying the ABC priority-setting framework, airway is always the highest priority
because the airway must be clear and open for oxygen exchange to occur.
Breathing is the second priority in the ABC priority-setting framework because
adequate ventilatory effort is essential for oxygen exchange to occur. Circulation
is the third priority in the ABC priority-setting framework because delivery of
oxygen to critical organs only occurs if the heart and blood vessels are capable of
efficiently carrying oxygen to them. A client who is receiving PEG tube feedings
should be positioned with the head of the bed elevated at least 30° during and
after feedings to decrease the risk of aspiration. Therefore, this is the priority
action by the nurse.

A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled to undergo an
esophagogastrodeuodenoscopy (EGD). The nurse should identify that this
procedure is used to do which of the following? - ANSWERS-An EGD is used to
visualize the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum with a lighted tube to detect a
tumor, ulceration, or obstruction.
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving TPN therapy and has just returned to
the room following PT. The nurse notes that the infusion pump for the clients TPN
is turned off. After restarting the infusion pump, the nurse should monitor the
client for which of the following findings? - ANSWERS-The nurse should recognize
that the client has the potential for the development of hypoglycemia due to the
sudden withdrawal of the TPN solution. In addition to diaphoresis, other potential
manifestations of hypoglycemia can include weakness, anxiety, confusion, and
hunger.
A nurse is assessing a client who is in the early states of HepA. which of the
following manifestations should the nurse expect? - ANSWERS-Anorexia is an

cells to detoxify an abnormal product.
