When you give meds thru a pt's PEJ do you crush the meds separately and put them into individual med cups, mix with water and administer each separately followed by a flush? I have always just thrown them all together, mixed with a little warm water to help them dissolve, then add about 20 CC water and administer them all together followed by a flush. I started to do this the other day at my new job and a nurse told me that I had to do them separately.
How do you administer meds thru a PEJ? What about a regular PEG?
Thank you for the input - I am a fresh nurse (6 mos) and still learning learning learning. . .
