Aclient has surgery for an abdominal cholecystectomy and returns from surgery with a nasogastric tube to low continuous suction, a t-tube, and an indwelling catheter. which intervention should the nurse perform first? fasten each tube to the bedsheets irrigate each tube with normal saline measure the drainage in the collection devices ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

The correct answer is: ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube should prevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract starts to function properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.
