The mother of a premature newborn questions why a gavage feeding catheter is placed in the mouth of the newborn and not in the nose. What is the nurse's best response?
 
  1. Most newborns are nose breathers.
  2. The tube will elicit the sucking reflex.
  3. A smaller catheter is preferred for feedings.
  4. Most newborns are mouth breathers.
