A nursing ask..?
Dont remember exactly what the question was but something like this.
Patient next to an NG tube is NPO. The doctor orders morning pills. What do you do?
1. Give the patient the meds crushed through the NG tube.
2. Withhold the meds due to the NPO status
3. Call the Doctor to verify this order.
Answers:
1. Give the meds via NG tube.
or
3.
This quiz does not give enough information to come to a conclusion. Was the patient up to suction to decompress an moving bleed? Or, just NPO (nothing per oral) thats how I remember, I think its really in latin or something.
I still estimate 1 because I have pushed many meds through an NG.
Rationale: the gut should be used regularly to avoid paralytic ileus. Source(s): Registered nurse
Definitely call the doctor to verify first!
