A nurse is preparing to administer a tube feeding to a child who has an NG tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A reason:

While parental divorce can be a stressful event for adolescents, it alone does not pose the highest risk of suicide completion.

Choice B reason:

Parental substance use disorder can contribute to a challenging family environment, but it is not the highest risk factor for suicide completion in adolescents.

Choice C reason:

Loss of family income can create stress and instability, but it is not the highest risk factor for suicide completion.

Choice D reason:

Bipolar disorder, especially when combined with depressive symptoms, significantly increases the risk of suicide in adolescents. It is important to monitor adolescents with bipolar disorder closely and provide appropriate mental health support and intervention. While other factors mentioned can contribute to a child's overall well-being, they do not carry the same level of direct risk for suicide completion as bipolar disorder with depressive symptoms.

Choice A reason:

Frequent urination is a common symptom of urinary tract infections. It helps to flush out bacteria from the urinary tract.

Choice B reason:

Wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, increasing the risk of urinary tract infections. The correct technique is to wipe from front to back

Choice C reason:

Nylon underwear can trap moisture, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Cotton underwear is recommended for better air circulation.

Choice D reason:

Testing urine for ketones is not directly related to preventing urinary tract infections. Ketone testing is more relevant for individuals with diabetes to monitor for ketoacidosis.
