The client is placed on percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube feedings. Which occurrence warrants immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
A dislodged PEG tube risks peritonitis or feeding leakage, requiring immediate intervention. Tolerated feedings, thirst, and green stool are less urgent.
