A nurse is preparing to administer a levothyroxine 50 mcg tablet PO to a client who is receiving an enteral feeding through an NG tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

The correct answer is A: Dissolve the medication in 30 mL of water. Levothyroxine should be dissolved in water before administering through an NG tube to prevent tube blockage and ensure proper absorption. Dissolving the medication in water helps to prevent clogging of the tube and ensures accurate dosing. It is crucial to follow medication guidelines to prevent complications. Maintaining the client in the supine position (B) is not necessary for this medication administration. Adding the medication to the enteral feeding formula (C) may alter the medication's absorption and effectiveness. Flushing the tube with water after administering the medication (D) is a good practice but is not the primary action needed in this situation.
