A preterm neonate is unable to breast-or bottle-feed. The primary health care provider writes a prescription to feed the neonate via nasogastric (NG) tube. When choosing an NG feeding tube for a neonate, the nurse should base the tube size on the neonate's:
1. Disease process.
2. Gestational age.
3. Length.
4. Weight.
