An experienced nurse is mentoring a new grad hire and the new nurse is preparing to administer the prescribed medication carbamazepine extended-release (Tegretol-XR) for a client with a gastrostomy feeding tube (g-tube). This medication is on the hospital’s ‘NO-CRUSH’ list. The new grad nurse knows that keeping g-tubes patent is a high-priority concern, but also isn’t sure what to do with the tablet. What direction does the experienced nurse give the new grad about how to proceed with the med administration? 9 options: a) Dissolve the medication in 30 ml of juice, then administer. b) Contact the physician to have the order changed to an g-tube safe version of the medication. c) Cut the medication into four smaller pieces that can be placed in the tube. d) Call the pharmacist and ask for an liquid version of the medication to administer via the g-tube.
