    Name: ____________________________ Score:

    Block: ______________________________ Date: ______________

    PROCEDURE CODE: NDT3

    Removing a Nasogastric Tube Performed Comments

    YES NO

    GOALS

    ■ For the presence of bowel sounds

    ■ For the absence of nausea or vomiting


    when tube is clamped

    EQUIPMENT

    ■ Disposable pad or towel

    ■ Tissues

    ■ Clean gloves

    ■ 50-mL syringe (optional)

    ■ Plastic trash bag

    Preparation

    ■ Confirm the primary care provider’s


    order to remove the tube.

    ■ Assist the client to a sitting position if


    health permits.

    ■ Place the disposable pad or towel


    across the client’s chest to collect any
    spillage of secretions from the tube.

    ■ Provide tissues to the client to wipe


    the nose and mouth after tube removal.

    1 Prior to performing the removal,


    introduce self and verify the client’s
    identity using agency protocol. Explain

    to the client what you are going to do,


    why it is necessary, and how he or she
    can participate. Discuss how the results
    will be used in planning further care or
    treatments.
    2 Perform hand hygiene and observe other
    appropriate infection control procedures
    (e.g., clean gloves).

    3 Provide for client privacy.

    4 Detach the tube.

    • Apply clean gloves.

    Disconnect the nasogastric tube from the


    suction apparatus, if present.

    • Unpin the tube from the client’s gown.

    • Remove the adhesive tape securing the


    tube to the nose.

    5 Detach the tube.

    • Apply clean gloves.

    • Disconnect the nasogastric tube from


    the suction apparatus, if present.

    • Unpin the tube from the client’s gown.

    • Remove the adhesive tape securing the


    tube to the nose.Ask the client to take a
    deep breath and to hold it.

    Rationale: This closes the glottis,


    thereby preventing accidental aspiration
    of any gastric contents.

    • Pinch the tube with the gloved hand.


    Rationale: Pinching the tube prevents
    any contents inside the tube from
    draining into the client’s throat.

    • Smoothly, withdraw the tube.

    • Place the tube in the plastic bag.


    Rationale: Placing the tube immediately
    into the bag prevents the transference of
    microorganisms from the tube to other
    articles or people.

    • Observe the intactness of the tube.

    6 Ensure client comfort.

    • Provide mouth care if desired.

    • Assist the client as required to blow the


    nose. Rationale: Excessive secretions
    may have accumulated in the nasal
    passages.
    7 Dispose of the equipment appropriately.

    • Place the pad, bag with tube, and


    gloves in the receptacle designated by
    the agency. Rationale: Correct disposal
    prevents the transmission of
    microorganisms.

    • Remove and discard gloves. Perform


    hand hygiene.

    8 Document all relevant information.

    • Record the removal of the tube, the


    amount and appearance of any drainage
    if connected to suction, and any relevant
    assessments of the client.
