Ans: C
After administration, the nurse should flush the tube to maintain patency and ensure that the entire amount of medication has been given. The tube should be checked prior to administering the medication. It is not necessary to retape the tube following administration. It is not appropriate to remove the tube unless it has been specifically ordered.
