    The correct answer is: check for correct placement of the NG tube.

    An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube shouldprevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents

    are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract start tofunction properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.
