Question:

The client has sore nares while a nasogastric (NG) tube is in place. Which of the following nursing measures would be most appropriate to help alleviate the client’s discomfort? 

1. Reposition the tube in the nares.

2. Irrigate the tube with a cool solution. 

3. Apply a water-soluble lubricant to the nares. 

4. Have the client change position more frequently.

Answer:3

Applying a water-soluble lubricant to the nares helps alleviate sore nares when an NG tube is in place. Repositioning the tube does not eliminate the possibility of irritating the nares. Irrigating the tube with a cool solution or changing positions will not relieve the local irritation from the NG tube.

问题：

病人在放置鼻胃管时鼻孔疼痛。以下哪项护理措施最适合帮助减轻病人的不适？

1.将导管重新放置在鼻孔中。

2.用冷溶液冲洗管子。

3.在鼻孔上涂抹水溶性润滑剂。

4.让病人更频繁地变换体位。

答案：3

在鼻部涂上水溶性润滑剂，可以缓解鼻部疼痛。重新定位鼻管并不能消除刺激鼻孔的可能性。用冷却溶液或更换位置冲洗管不会缓解NG管的局部刺激。
