Abstract

This article aims to explore the complexity of student nurse relationships with adolescent patients when placing nasogastric tubes. The potential inter-connectiveness of this relationship is debated within this article and an evaluation of current practice identifies potential implications for both patients and nursing care.

This article aims to explore the complexity of student nurse relationships with adolescent patients when placing nasogastric (NG) tubes. The potential inter-connectedness of this relationship is debated within this article and an evaluation of current practice identifies potential implications for both patients and nursing care.

The practice of NG tube insertion originates from ancient Greece and Egypt, where tubing inserted rectally infused nutrient solutions for the treatment of bowel conditions (Chernoff, 2006; National Nurses Nutrition Group, 2016).

Progression to enteral feeding via tube occurred between the 12th and 16th centuries (Cresci and Mellinger, 2006; Pash, 2018), with the first recorded use in 1876. The feed consisted of warm milk, eggs, beef tea and stimulants given to children who were suffering from ‘mania, diphtheria and croup’, and to ‘fasting girls and spoilt children who, when ill, refused food’ (Harkness, 2002: 400).
