Mrs. Lim is a patient who has a Jejunostomy tube. What step is performed to ensure that this tube remains inserted in the correct location and does not get into the airway? The patient is kept in semi-Fowler’s position while the tube is being inserted. A nurse attaches a syringe to the tube and aspirates gastrointestinal secretions. The nurse measures the pH of the secretions. The tube is secured using a tape or a tube holder. An X-ray is taken to determine correct tube placement.
