These options are correct because they emphasize important aspects of home care for a client receiving intermittent enteral nutrition: maintaining cleanliness of equipment and the insertion site to prevent infection, proper storage of feedings to prevent spoilage, and using tap water for tubing flushes as a practical measure for hydration and tube patency. Option B is incorrect because enteral feedings should generally not hang for more than 4 hours to reduce the risk of bacterial growth and contamination.
