1. Question
The nurse is caring for a client following a Billroth II procedure. Which postoperative prescription should the nurse question and verify?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale.
Option 3 is correct
Rationale: In a Billroth II procedure, the proximal remnant of the stomach is anastomosed to the proximal jejunum. Patency of the nasogastric tube is critical for preventing the retention of gastric secretions. The nurse should never irrigate or reposition the gastric tube after gastric surgery, unless specifically prescribed by the physician. In this situation, the nurse should clarify the prescription. Options 1, 2, and 4 are appropriate postoperative interventions.
