The client underwent Billroth surgery for gastric ulcer. Postoperatively, the drainage from his NGT is thick and the volume of secretions has dramatically reduced in the last 2 hours and the client feels like vomiting. The
most appropriate nursing action is to:

  • Irrigate the NGT with 50 cc of sterile

  • Discontinue the lowintermittent suction

  • Notify the MD of your findings

  • Reposition the NGT by advancing it gently NSS
