  1. Diarrhea in the tube-fed client is most likely to be caused by the following:
  2. Constant continuously dripping feeding
  3. Delivering feeding for 4 to 6 hours in a few minutes
  4. Overhydration
  5. Use of an infusion pump

 

Ans: 2

  Feedback
1. A constant continuously dripping feeding would provide the feeding slowly over a period of time allowing the client’s body to adjust to the formula and preventing overdistention, bloating, and subsequently diarrhea.
2. Giving a feeding too rapidly does not allow the body to adjust to the feeding, leading to bloating, cramping, and then diarrhea.
3. Overhydration would lead to fluid overload and symptoms associated with heart failure.
4. Using an infusion would ensure that the tube feeding is given at the proper rate, thus reducing the risk for diarrhea.

  1. Which of the following is a recommended procedure for administering medications through a feeding tube?
  2. Mix all the medications together, crush thoroughly, mix with water, and add to the formula.
  3. Remove any hard coatings from medications before inserting the powder into the feeding tube.
  4. Flush the tube with at least 30 mL of sterile water before giving the medication and before resuming the tube-feeding formula.
  5. Administer each medication after flushing the tube with 30 mL of sterile isotonic saline.

 

Ans: 3

  Feedback
1. Each medication should be administered separately, and the tube should be flushed with 15 mL of sterile water between each medication. The medication should not be added directly to the formula.
2. The medication given must be one that is in liquid form or that can be crushed. If the medication has a coating, the nurse should check with the pharmacist first to see if it can be crushed. The hard coating may be an enteric coating and the medication should not be crushed.
3. The nurse should always flush the tube with at least 30 mL of sterile water before giving the medication and before restarting the tube feeding.
4. Each medication should be given separately and the nurse should flush the tube with 15 mL of sterile water after each medication.
