Incorrect Awarded 0.0 points out of 1.0 possible points. 2.2.ID: 18668356962 The nurse is reviewing medication administration through a feeding tube with the caregiver. Which of the following statements indicates further instruction is needed? A. "To verify gastric placement, the pH of aspirated gastric contents should 4 or less." B. "After crushing all medications, I will mix them together with 30 mL of tepid water." Correct Prior to medication administration through a feeding tube, placement should be verified. A gastric pH of less than 5 is a good indicator that tip of tube is correctly placed in stomach. Each crushed tablet should be dissolved in separate cup of 30 mL warm water. Administering medications separately allows for accurate identification of medication if dose is spilled. In addition, some medications may be incompatible, and giving medication separately followed by a flush solution decreases the risk for drug incompatibilities. Following the last dose of medication with a 30 to 60 mL flush maintains patency of feeding tube and ensures passage of medications into stomach. Clamping the tube if not being used prevents air from entering stomach. Keeping the head elevated for 1 hour after medication administration reduces risk of aspiration. C. "Following the last dose of medication, I will flush the feeding tube with 30 to 60 mL of sterile water because he is immunocompromised." D. "After medication administration, I will clamp the feeding tube and have him sit up for 1 hour." Why is this page out of focus?This is a Premium document. Become Premium to read the whole document.
