Beside the rationales on the CNA prep guide, CNA list at least two references for each question. Those are good reference books as well.

Another reference pdf. is the code of ethics--search on the CNA website.

What is the BEST way to check NG tube placement?

PH?

Insufflation and auscultation?

X-ray?

27400 · Aug 7, 2011

X-ray... NEVER insufflation and auscultation--that is NOT best practice according to P&P. Everytime you insert an NG tube you should get an Xray done. When you're using the NG tube for something like giving meds do the pH testing.

Thanks 27400

X-ray

Just saw a posting by Fleet....

".....Where I live, 300 of us wrote the exam, and 75 failed. So, you do the math - that's 25% of those who wrote the exam with me, failed it......"

OMG! Is that true?

25% will fail ?

I just want to add information about NG tube placement.

For confirmation--- INITIAL--- X-RAY

---for subsequent and/ or displaced---pH strip----if pH

----if pH >5--another X-RAY should be done
