To prevent risk of contamination of formula, the best intervention is to:
a. discard refrigerated opened containers of formula after 48 hours.
b. hang no more than a 24-hour supply of formula in an open system.
c. add a new feeding container and tubing every 24 hours to the feeding tube left in place.
d. promptly add new formula into the container in the open system when only a small amount of solution remains in the tubing.
Question 2
A potential problem when using open feeding systems is:
a. increased set-up costs.
b. increased risk for infection.
c. increased viscosity of solution as it stands in the open system for longer periods of time.
d. the need to rotate the container more often in order to redistribute molecules within the solution to minimize slowing down of infusion.
