A nurse has finished teaching a client's husband how to administer drugs and enteral feeding through a gastrostomy tube. The nurse knows the husband understands the teaching when he makes which statements? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply.
A) "My wife has a gastrostomy tube instead of a nasogastric tube because she will have the tube for a long time."
B) "I will need to use liquid medications. If any of the medications are in pill form, I will use the pill crusher to crush them and mix them with water before putting them in the tube."
C) "This medication says it is enteric coated. I'm not supposed to crush this kind of medication. I will need to ask the physician to substitute another medication that is liquid or can be crushed."
D) "There's a big difference in how the drugs work in the body when they're taken orally and when they're administered through the tube. That's why my wife has to have this tube."
E) "I have to be very careful to flush the tube after I put medication in it. If I don't, the tube could get clogged."
