Question 1 of 5
The LPN is caring for a client with an NG tube, and the RN administers evening medications through the NG tube. The client asks if he can lie down when the nurse leaves the room. What is the most appropriate response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After administering medication through an NG tube, the client should remain upright for 30 minutes to ensure proper absorption of the medications.
Therefore, the most appropriate response is to advise the client to lie down in 1 hour.
Choice B is incorrect because waiting only 30 minutes may not provide sufficient time for the medications to be fully absorbed, as the recommended time is 30 minutes.
Choice C is misleading as it incorrectly suggests that lying down in about 30 minutes is acceptable, which could compromise medication effectiveness.
Choice D is incorrect as it does not provide accurate information regarding the appropriate timing for lying down after NG tube medication administration, potentially leading to decreased medication absorption.
