A hospitalized client who has a living will is being fed through a nasogastric (NG) tube. During a bolus feeding, the client vomits and begins choking. Which of the following actions is most appropriate for the nurse to take
A.Clear the client's airway.
B.Make the client comfortable.
C.Start eardiopulmonary resuscitation.
D.Stop the feeding and remove the NG tube.
参考答案:A
解析:A living will states that no lifesaving measures are to be used in terminal conditions. There is no indication that the client is terminally ill. Furthermore, a living will doesn't apply to nonterminal events such as choking on an enteral feeding device. The nurse should clear the client's airway. Making the client comfortable ignores the life-threatening event. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation isn't indicated and removing the NG tube would exacerbate the situation.
