How is nasojejunal feeding different from nasogastric feeding?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The nasojejunal tube passes through the nose to the jejunum, whereas the nasogastric tube ends in the stomach.
A nasojejunal tube enters through the nose and passes beyond the stomach so that its tip lies in the jejunum, a part of the small intestine. A nasogastric tube ends in the stomach. A tube ending in the duodenum is nasoduodenal, and neither tube enters a vein. Hence, option A is correct.
