Why can flushing between feed and medicine be useful in tube feeding?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To clear residue and reduce blockage risk
Flushing with the prescribed water before and after medication helps clear feed or drug residue, maintains tube patency, and reduces the chance of blockage or unintended mixing. Medicines should not be mixed casually with feed because compatibility and absorption may be affected. Flushing does not change taste or increase drug effectiveness.
