Many oral medications can be given through a feeding tube. Liquid medications are best, but if a tablet is crushable or a capsule can be opened and the contents mixed with liquid, or if the liquid within the capsule can be aspirated with a needle and syringe, then the medication can be administered through the feeding tube. Medications that should not be crushed and administered through the tube are sublingual or buccal, enteric-coated, or sustained-release preparations or products with a carcinogenic potential (e.g., antineoplastics).

What is nitroglycerin used for quizlet?

Use Nitroglycerin for Acute Angina Pectoris, Ischemia Chest Pain, Hypertension, CHF, and Pulmonary Edema.

What is the intended action of nitroglycerin ointment?

Nitroglycerin ointment prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not need to work as hard and therefore does not need as much oxygen. Nitroglycerin ointment treats anal fissure pain by relaxing the blood vessels, which reduces the pressure in the anal tissues.

What is an important nursing action to consider when applying nitroglycerin paste to a patient's skin?

To protect yourself from accidental exposures, wear gloves when applying transdermal patches or nitroglycerin ointment. Avoid the application of heat, such as a heating pad, over transdermal patch or ointment. Heat could increase the rate of absorption with potentially serious adverse effects.

Which of the following administration route for nitroglycerin is the most common?

There are intravenous (IV) routes of administration for nitroglycerin used most commonly in emergency rooms and intensive care units (ICU).
