Enteral syringes are a different color than parenteral syringes.

intravenous line.
The tips of the enteral syringes connect with parenteral medication

Rationale
The enteral syringes are often a different color than the parenteral syringes and must
be labeled for oral or enteral use. Needles of the enteral syringes do not attach to the
syringes and cannot be inserted into any type of intravenous line. The tips of the
enteral syringes will not connect with parenteral medication administration systems.
The nurse must remove the tip cap of the syringe before administering the medication
because there are chances of tracheal blockage caused by aspiration of the cap, but this
does not prevent contamination.

The nurse provides education about intravenous (IV) medication
administration to a group of nursing students and includes which
information?
Occlude the IV line by pinching the tubing just above the injection port.
Insert the needle of the syringe containing the medication through the center
of the port.
If a blood transfusion is being given, flush the line with 30 mL of saline before
administering the medication.
If there is no blood return with a smaller-gauge peripheral needle, do not give
the IV medication.
Rationale
The nurse should occlude the IV line by pinching tubing just above injection port. The
nurse should insert a needleless tip of syringe containing medication through the
center of the port. The nurse should never administer IV medications through tubing
that is infusing blood, blood products, or parenteral nutrition solutions. In the case of
smaller-gauge IV needles, blood return sometimes is not aspirated even if the IV line is
patent. If the IV site does not show signs of infiltration and IV fluid is infusing without
difficulty, give the IV push medication.
