A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a client through an enteral feeding tube.Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A rationale:Pinching the tube while connecting the syringe to it could potentially damage the tube and does not aid in medication administration.Choice B rationale:Elevating the head of the client’s bed to only 10° may increase the risk of aspiration. The head of the bed should be elevated to at least 30° during medication administration and for at least an hour afterward.Choice C rationale:Flushing the tube with normal saline following medication administration helps ensure that all medication has been administered and helps maintain tube patency.Choice D rationale:Combining crushed medications together in a single syringe can lead to drug interactions and can also increase the risk of tube clogging. Each medication should be administered separately.
