If a suppository becomes soft, which action should the nurse take?

Choice A reason: Rectal is enteral, using the GI tract for absorption. Vaginal isn’t enteral. This fits nursing pharmacology standards. It’s universally distinct, part of digestive routes.

Choice B reason: Nasogastric delivers to stomach, an enteral method clearly. Vaginal differs entirely. This aligns with nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a GI route.

Choice C reason: Vaginal is topical/mucosal, not enteral like GI routes. This is the exception per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, outside digestive administration methods.

Choice D reason: Oral is enteral, absorbed via digestive system typically. Vaginal isn’t included. This matches nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a core enteral route.

Choice A reason: Lasix increases sodium and water excretion, a true diuretic effect. Potassium-sparing is false, per nursing pharmacology. This holds universally, distinctly accurate.

Choice B reason: Lasix depletes potassium, causing hypokalemia; this is true. Potassium-sparing isn’t, per nursing standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly a known risk.

Choice C reason: Lasix isn’t potassium-sparing; it’s a loop diuretic that loses potassium. This is the exception, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, errors in classification.

Choice D reason: Slow position changes prevent Lasix-induced hypotension; this is true. Potassium-sparing is wrong, per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a safety measure.
