Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer several medications via NG tube to a client who is receiving a continuous tube feeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Mix the medications together in a single syringe. B. Dilute each crushed medication with sterile water. C. Flush the NG tube with 5 mL of sterile water prior to administration D. Combine the medications with the formula in the feeding bag.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dilute each crushed medication with sterile water. This is the appropriate action because mixing medications together in a single syringe (choice
A) can lead to drug interactions. Flushing the NG tube with sterile water (choice
C) is important but not directly related to administering medications. Combining the medications with the formula in the feeding bag (choice
D) is incorrect as it may alter the formula's composition. It is crucial to dilute medications individually to ensure proper absorption and prevent clogging of the tube.
