Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flushing the tube is the first priority to prevent any medication from being left behind in the tube. Thoroughly crushing the medication is important to ensure it will pass through the tube easily. Administering each medication separately prevents any interactions between different medications. Dissolving each crushed medication in a medicine cup further ensures that it will pass through the tube easily. Flushing the tube again after all medications have been given helps to ensure that all medication has been administered, and reconnecting the feeding tube is the final step.
