A 29-year-old female client is admitted to a telemetry unit after a syncopal episode and is suspected of having peptic ulcer disease. A nasogastric tube connected to low intermittent suction is placed and drains 200 mL of coffee-ground secretions from the client’s stomach. The healthcare provider (HCP) schedules an esophagogastroduodenoscopy for the next morning. After the HCP teaches the client about the procedure, the nurse evaluates the client’s understanding. For each client response, indicate whether the teaching was Effective (helped the client to understand the procedure), Ineffective (did not help the client understand the procedure), or Unrelated (not related to the teaching about the procedure).
