Which action would the nurse perform to prevent a feeding tube from clogging?

To help prevent clogging, maintain proper tube maintenance and flushing. For instance, massage potential clots in the tube, irrigate with warm water, administer alkalinized enzymes as ordered, and use a manual declogger (such as the Bionix DeClogger® or CorPak Clog Zapper®) if needed.
