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: Connecting a bulb attachment to the syringe is not a standard method for administering a tube feeding and can potentially lead to complications. Choice B reason: Heating the formula to body temperature is not typically necessary and can be potentially dangerous if it leads to overheating. Choice C reason: Positioning the child with the head of the bed elevated at 15° helps to prevent aspiration during tube feeding. Choice D reason: Instilling the feeding based on pH alone is not a sufficient criterion for administration. Other factors, such as radiographic confirmation of tube placement, should also be considered.
