A nurse is preparing to administer a medication through a nasogastric (NG) tube. Which action is the priority to prevent aspiration?

Verifying NG tube placement before medication administration is the priority to prevent inadvertent delivery into the airway and aspiration. Flushing is important but secondary; supine positioning increases aspiration risk; crushing tablets together can cause incompatibilities and tube occlusion.

Select one answer

Flush the tube with 10 mL of sterile water after the medication

Place the patient in a supine position for comfort

Verify tube placement per facility policy before administration

Crush all tablets together to reduce the number of flushes
