 Nursing interventions

 Medications should be taken with or without

food.
 Atleast 6-8 oz.

 Drug interactions taken during same time.

 IF NGT, powdered, 30-60ml and check for
patency.
 Nursing Interventions
 Should be placed under the tongue.
 Once dissolved it may be swallowed.
 If buccal between cheek and gums.
 Drug is usually without flavor and water soluble.
 Nursing interventions
 Frequent monitoring
