Because Mrs. Miller is NPO, the nurse must administer the oral spironolactone via the NG tube. Is it appropriate to crush this medication? Why or why not? What intervention should the nurse take following administration of the medication to facilitate absorption?
Homework Answers
The drug should not be crushed and given. Moreover the patient is on NPO which means that the absorption of the drug will be diminished when it is taken without food. Crushing the drug will breakdown the molecules of the drug thus reducing the strength of the drug. The nurse can ask the physicians to prescribe an alternative for this drug via injections.
