How might the nurse safely administer an extended-release capsule to a patient with
dysphagia?


A. Encourage the patient to drink plenty of water when swallowing the capsule.
B. Open the capsule, and place the contents into 90 mL (3 fl. oz.) of juice.
C. Place the capsule in a spoonful of the patient's applesauce.
D. Save the capsule to be administered last.


Place the capsule in a spoonful of the patient's applesauce.



Rationale: Placing the capsule in a spoonful of the patient's applesauce helps lubricate the
capsule, thereby facilitating the patient's ability to swallow it. Although giving the pill whole
and encouraging the patient to drink plenty of water when swallowing it is one way to
administer the capsule, it is not the safest way. Opening an extended-release capsule is not
safe. Changing the sequence in which the medication is administered will not make it safer
for the patient to swallow.
