Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Rinse the bag and tubing with warm water whenever feedings are interrupted. Use a new administration set every 24 hours. Allowing the container to empty over 30 to 45 minutes is the method used for intermittent administration of tube feedings. Administer water via a feeding tube as ordered or between feedings. This provides the patient with a source of water to help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and clears the tubing of formula. Gradually advancing the rate of concentration of the tube feeding helps to prevent diarrhea and gastric intolerance to formula.
