A nurse is providing site care for a child who has a gastrostomy enteral tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Some gastrostomy tubes require an extension set for feeding, especially low-profile devices (e.g., button-type gastrostomy tubes). This extension makes it easier to administer feeds or medications and can be removed afterward. However, this is not typically part of routine site care. Taping the tube to the child's cheek is not typically done as it can cause discomfort and skin irritation. The tube should be secured with a stabilization device or a specialized dressing designed for gastrostomy tube care. Applying a skin barrier protectant around the gastrostomy site is a good practice. It helps protect the skin from irritation, breakdown, and leakage of gastric contents, which can cause skin excoriation. This helps maintain the integrity of the skin around the site. Applying water-soluble lubricant to the site is not necessary for routine site care. Lubrication is typically used when inserting or removing the tube, but it is not part of routine site care.
