Which is the correct difference between gastrostomy and nasogastric tube?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A gastrostomy tube enters the stomach through the abdominal wall, whereas a nasogastric tube passes through the nose and oesophagus to the stomach
A gastrostomy tube reaches the stomach through a deliberately created opening in the abdominal wall. A nasogastric tube enters through the nose, passes down the oesophagus, and ends in the stomach. Both may provide enteral nutrition, but their entry routes and usual duration of use differ. Option B reverses them.
