A postoperative client has a Salem sump nasogastric tube in place. The tube is to be clamped for ...

A postoperative client has a Salem sump nasogastric tube in place. The tube is to be clamped for four hours, reconnected to low intermittent suction for one hour, and then clamped again for four hours. The client reports increasing nausea after the tube has been clamped for three hours. An appropriate action by the nurse at this time is to:
1. Irrigate the nasogastric tube with 30 milliliters of normal saline.
2. Recheck the position of the nasogastric tube by aspirating for stomach contents.
3. Unclamp the nasogastric tube and reconnect it to low, intermittent suction.
4. Encourage the client to take deep breaths to decrease nausea, and maintain the clamped tube.
