ANS: A, B, D
Liquid forms of medications are preferable. Tablets may be crushed and diluted in water. Capsules may be opened and the contents added to approximately 1 ounce of water. Enteric coated medications and timed release capsules should never be broken for administration. Suppositories are not given via NG route.
