Question:

A nursing aid finds out there is a puddle of tube feeding on a patient’s floor while their nasogastric (NG) tube is sitting beside the patient, who’s calmly watching TV. The nursing assistant should:

A Turn off the tube feeding and report the NG tube dislodgement to the nurse right away.
explanation

The nursing assistant should prevent further mess by turning off the tube feeding and notify the nurse. The patient is not in distress so checking vitals is unnecessary. Everything can be cleaned up when the nurse has been notified and assessed the case.

There are definitely a few mistakes in this app, some of the answers are just plain wrong so make sure this is not your only source of study material. Other than that this app is very helpful.

I would love to give this app 5 stars but in the Nursing Skills section it does not allow you to go on to part 7. After you get to part 6 it either just never loads or it tells you to go to part 7 and does absolutely nothing.
