4. Measure gastric residual volume.
5. Flush the NG tube with 30 mL of water.

aspiration. Then, the nurse should verify the tubes placement
by aspirating 5 mL of gastric contents and then testing the pH.

Excessive GRV is an indication of delayed gastric emptying,
which places the client at risk of aspiration if additional
formula is given. Finally, the nurse should flush the tubing with
30 mL of water to ensure the tube is clear and patent.)

management to a client who has COPD. Which of the following
instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
