Who uses ng tubes
clients who have intact gag and cough reflexes, who have adequate gastric emptying and who require short-term feedings.
Other than to provide nutrition, why else is an NG tube used
To prevent nausea, vomiting, and gastric distention following surgery. In this case, the tube is attached to a suction source.
To remove stomach contents for lab. analysis.

surgically or by laparoscopy through the abdominal wall into the stomach (gastrostomy) or into the jejunum (jejunostomy).
When aspirating what is the ph of the gastric secretions
1 to 4 but may be as high as 6 if the client is receiving medications that control gastric acid.

IV such as through a CVC into the superior vena cava.
What solutions do parenteral feedings supply
dextrose, water, fat, proteins, electrolytes, vitamins and trace elements; they provide all needed calories. *** Because TPN solutions are hypertonic (highly concentrated in comparison to the solute concentration of blood), they are injected only into high-flow central veins, where they are diluted by the client's blood.
