Explanation / Answer

The correct option is b.

Explanation : Gastrostomy tunes are used for feeding directly into the stomach. They need to be cleaned with 100ml of water(and not 10ml of water) every 2 hours. Therefore the option a is incorrect.

Residual volume is aspirated every 4 hours to avoid risk of aspiration as mentioned in option b.

The tubing set needs to be changed every 24 hours.

The formula needs to be heated at a greater temperature.

Therefore the option b is correct.
