Answer to Question 1

 Iron
 B vitamins (limit vitamin B6 supplementation to less than 15 mg)
 Calcium/vitamin D

Answer to Question 2

 The formula could be changed to one with added fiber (such as Jevity) or fiber could be added to Mrs. Maney's medications.
 It is important to remember that fiber supplements should not be added separately to the enteral formula or placed down the feeding tube. It may cause interactions with the formula and could result in a tube blockage.
 Additionally, an antidiarrheal agent such as loperamide could be used.
 Depending the osmolality of the formula, it may be advisable to have a lower initiation rate to lower the water-pulling effect that the higher osmolar formula may have in the intestinal tract.
