Final answer:

Aspiration and diarrhea are potential complications of overfeeding when a client is receiving feedings through a gastrointestinal tube.

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B, aspiration and diarrhea, are potential complications of overfeeding when a client is receiving feedings through a gastrointestinal tube. Aspiration is the inhalation of food or liquid into the lungs, which can lead to pneumonia or other respiratory problems. Diarrhea can occur due to an excessive amount of feeding or intolerance to the formula.
