C Discuss the order with the prescriber if the client's abdomen is distended with hypoactive bowel sounds and RLQ tenderness. D Check for residual enteral formula prior to administration. A Hold the feeding if the client has soft brown stools and is passing flatus. B Dilute each medication with 5% dextrose in water (D5W) and flush with at least 30 mL.
