Practice Question
A nurse is administering several medications via a client's gastrostomy tube. At which of the following times should the nurse instill 15 to 30 mL of warm water? (Select all that apply.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Prior to administering each medication
Rationale:
The nurse should instill 15 to 30 mL of warm water prior to administering each medication, after each medication, and after giving multiple medications to maintain tube patency and prevent clogs. Flushing before and after each medication ensures the tube is clear of residual formula or medications, allowing for effective delivery and minimizing the risk of obstruction. After giving multiple medications, a final flush helps ensure that all medications are cleared from the tube and the entire dose is delivered to the stomach.
