Jejunostomy tube medication administration instruction

Jejunostomy tube medication administration instruction: Before administering any medication, wash your hands thoroughly and gather the necessary supplies: prescribed medication, a syringe, a cup of warm water, a clean towel or paper towels, and disposable gloves. Begin by wearing disposable gloves to maintain cleanliness. Draw up the prescribed medication into the syringe, expelling any air bubbles. It's essential to ensure the jejunostomy tube is correctly placed. Check the placement according to your healthcare provider's instructions to verify the tube's position. To prevent clogging and ensure proper medication delivery, flush the tube before and after medication administration. Fill a syringe with warm water and attach it to the jejunostomy tube port. Gently push the warm water through the tube to clear any potential obstructions. The water should flow smoothly. If resistance is encountered, stop and attempt to declog the tube—if unsuccessful please consult your healthcare provider. Now, it's time to administer the medication. Attach the syringe with the medication to the jejunostomy tube port. Administer the medication slowly and steadily, ensuring the patient is in a comfortable position. Pause between medication doses if necessary. After administering the medication, flush the tube again with warm water using a separate syringe. Keep an eye on the patient for any adverse reactions or discomfort during and after medication administration. Safely dispose of used supplies and remove your gloves. Wash your hands again thoroughly to maintain hygiene. Proper medication administration and flushing of a jejunostomy tube are essential for the well-being of patients. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and maintain a sterile and safe environment. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare team.
