Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a levothyroxine 50 mcg tablet PO to a client who is receiving an enteral feeding through an NG tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dissolve the medication in 30 mL of water. Levothyroxine should not be mixed with enteral feeding formula as it can interact with the nutrients in the formula, reducing its absorption. Dissolving the tablet in water helps to ensure the medication is properly absorbed. Flushing the tube with water after medication administration (choice
C) is a standard practice but not specific to levothyroxine administration. Maintaining the client in the supine position (choice
D) is unnecessary for this medication. The other choices are not relevant to the specific administration of levothyroxine through an NG tube.
