Answer to Question 1

B
Preferably, medications administered by enteral tubes should be given in liquid form. If liquid form is not available, you will have to modify the form of the medication tablet by crushing or dissolving it. However, you cannot crush sustained-release, chewable, long-acting, or enteric-coated tablets and capsules. Therefore, do not administer these medications by enteral tubes. Consult with the hospital pharmacy when in doubt.

Answer to Question 2

Enucleation
As a result of tumor, infection, congenital blindness, or severe trauma to the eye, patients may undergo enucleation, the complete surgical removal of the eyeball.
