A patient has esophageal cancer and must have a feeding tube inserted. The nurse tells the patient that the tube will be inserted surgically into the duodenum. The patient's wife asks why the tube will not be inserted into the stomach. What should the nurse say? There is less risk of vomiting, which could cause complications.

Contraction of the muscles in the stomach wall will interfere with the delivery of food through the tube. The stomach's acid will digest the tube, leading to possible infections through the degraded tube.
