1. gud video
2. Omg I was so nervous the whole time she was holding the tube syringe at the top like that! I always hold down where I have it inserted so it doesn't come out and everything goes everywhere!
3. This is so NOT the real world lady. Thanks for the video anyways though
4. cross contamination by using the same equipment to mix both medications
5. That is a lot of water she is flushing with.
6. Good Video. I would not have allowed AIR to go in concurrently after each med. Simply pinch it off and allow 10 of h2o to remain throughout the whole med pass......
7. a lot of pill spilled on to table plus stayed on stick too.

9. Great video. She's clear and explains everything well. Thank you. 
10. very helpful video
11. I don't know why I decided to watch these videos today, just did, started with tracheostomy & now I'm here. All of my procedures were performed while I was in a coma following surgery. Just a funny share - when my nurse would 'push' the chocolate ensure (I believe it was!) very fast I swear I could taste it, has anyone heard of this?
12. Thank you for this video very helpful:)
13. Very good video
14. This helped alot! Thanks 
15. Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm a new grad nurse and not very experienced in giving meds via PEG tube and after seeing this video I feel very confident to do so. :D
16. Historically nurses verified feeding tube placement by injecting air through the tube while auscultating the stomach for a gurgling or bubbling sound or asking the patient to speak. Auscultation has repeatedly been shown to be ineffective in detecting tubes accidentally placed in the lung (Bourgault et al., 2007). Some patients are able to speak despite placement of feeding tubes in the lung (Rolandelli et al., 2005). Furthermore, auscultation is not effective in distinguishing between gastric and intestinal placement for feeding tubes (Rauen et al., 2008). The measurement of pH of secretions withdrawn from the feeding tube helps to differentiate the location of the tube (Box 44-13). At present the most reliable method for verification of placement of small-bore feeding tubes is x-ray film examination  (Potter 1020-1021)

17. awesome video, it helped a lot!
18. You did not indicate the amount of air.
19. She also checks for residual before administering medication. 
20. If you were paying attention to the video, 7:16 into the video, she does give an air bolus and checks for placement
