A. Administer the crushed medication through the NG tube. B. Administer the medication under the client's tongue. C. Request a prescription for an oral formulation of the medication. D. Dissolve the medication in water and give it through the NG tube.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Sublingual medications are meant to be absorbed under the tongue and should not be administered through an NG tube, which bypasses this route of absorption.
B. Administering the medication under the tongue is the correct route for sublingual administration. It ensures that the medication is allowed to dissolve completely and is not swallowed immediately. This allows for the intended rapid absorption through the sublingual route.
C. If a client has an NG tube and needs a medication that is typically given sublingually, the nurse should administer the medication under the tongue.
D. Dissolving sublingual medication in water for NG tube administration is not appropriate as it alters the intended route of absorption.
