A nurse is about to administer an intermittent enteral feeding to a client who has an NG tube in place. Besides obtaining an x-ray, which of the following methods should the nurse use to verify the placement?

A.While monitoring the client's physical condition, including range of motion, is important, it typically needs to be done more frequently than every 60 minutes. The Joint Commission and other regulatory bodies often recommend continuous observation and checks every 15 minutes.

B.Typically, a provider's order for restraints must be obtained immediately or within a very short time frame (often within an hour), not 48 hours. Regulations vary but generally require prompt notification and authorization.

C.Restraints should only be used as a last resort and for the shortest duration possible. The goal is to ensure the client's safety and the safety of others while minimizing the use of restraints. Removing the restraints as soon as the client is calm and no longer a threat to themselves or others is essential to respecting the client's rights and promoting their dignity.

D.Offer the client a nutritious snack every 4 hr.: While providing nutrition and hydration is important, the primary focus immediately after applying restraints should be on the client's safety and the frequent assessment of their condition. Offering a snack every 4 hours is not the immediate priority in this context.

The rotavirus vaccine is administered orally, usually in the form of drops. It is given to infants to protect against rotavirus, which is a common cause of severe diarrhea and dehydration in young children. By stating that the baby will receive the rotavirus immunization orally, the guardian demonstrates an understanding of this specific vaccination.

There is no need to restrict feeding for a specific duration before immunization unless otherwise specified by the healthcare provider. In general, it is important to ensure that the infant is well-fed and hydrated.

While mild side effects such as low-grade fever, fussiness, or local soreness at the injection site may occur after immunizations, having a high fever for 24 hours is not a typical or expected reaction. If a high fever or any concerning symptoms develop after immunization, it is important to contact the healthcare provider.

The number of doses and the schedule for meningococcal immunization can vary depending on the specific vaccine used and the recommendations of the healthcare provider or local guidelines.
