A
Feedback:
Assuming Fowler's position can help prevent gastric reflux when medications are administered through an enteral tube. The nurse checks the client's medical history for drug allergies to avoid potential complications. Adding diluted medication to the syringe as it becomes nearly empty prevents instilling air into the syringe. Administering the medication over several minutes has no effect on reflux.
