Question
•Which of the following are symptoms of the dumping syndrome? Select all that apply.
a. Sweating
b. Appetite loss
c. Weakness
d. Nausea
![Page 23: Chapter 29 Gastrointestinal Intubation - … · Chapter 29 Gastrointestinal Intubation. ... related to a surge of insulin. Appetite loss is ... –Imbalanced nutrition: less than](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021518/5b3fc36f7f8b9a5e528c806d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Answer
a. Sweating, c. Weakness, d. Nausea
The symptoms of dumping syndrome are weakness, dizziness, sweating, and nausea, due to fluid shifts from the circulating blood to the intestine, and low blood glucose level related to a surge of insulin. Appetite loss is not a symptom of the dumping syndrome.

General Gerontologic Considerations
• When instructing older adults or older caregivers in managing gastrostomy tube or administering tube feedings at home, allow more time for processing and include several practice sessions
• Ethical considerations of long-term tube feedings vs. client’s desire to withdraw artificial nutrition and hydration
