Question 21 • Medical Terminology - EL3620 A

Which allows medication to enter directly into the intestinal tract?

Answer
A
endotracheal tube
B
nasogastric tube
C
gastrostomy tube
D
jejunostomy tube

Explanation

A jejunostomy tube passes through the abdominal wall into the jejunum, part of the small intestine, so medication can enter the intestinal tract directly. A gastrostomy tube ends in the stomach, while a nasogastric tube reaches the stomach through the nose; an endotracheal tube enters the airway.
