pH Testing for Gastric Secretions

Hi, I am creating a procedure for our vWR pH strips for Gastric Secretions.
This strip utilizes 3 buffer solutions as controls and we're wanting to have the nurses perform the 3 controls. However a nurse educator is just wanting to perform only 1 control for competency stating it would impact overall certification rates though I don't quite understand how this is so.
What has anyone been doing with their gastric pH strips?
Thank you so much.

We have them perform 1 level of QC for their competency. For normal QC we have them do 4.0, 7.0, 10.0 buffers.
