Final answer:
A PEG procedure is done to facilitate eating by inserting a feeding tube through the abdominal wall into the patient's stomach.
Step-by-step explanation:
A PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) procedure is a medical technique used to assist patients with feeding. This intervention involves the insertion of a tube directly into the patient's stomach through the abdominal wall using endoscopic guidance. It is primarily conducted for individuals who have difficulty swallowing or cannot take in enough nutrition orally due to various medical conditions. By creating a direct access point to the stomach the PEG tube allows for the delivery of nutrition fluids and medications.
The procedure does not directly involve or facilitate breathing, urination, or any of the other unrelated processes mentioned. Looking at the provided options, the answer would be C) eating since the purpose of a PEG tube is to provide a means of nutritional support when the usual route of eating through the mouth is not possible.
