Answer»

Right option is (b) G – tube site

The explanation is: The tube is INSERTED in the G – site of the STOMACH and may extend up to the jejunum of the small intestines. These tubes are used for enteral feeding and send the food directly to the stomach. This kind of food is given to patients who are unable to eat by themselves, for eg COMATOSE patients, geriatric population etc.
