Answer to Question 1

2
The GT site should be cleaned daily, and it is important that the nurse flush the tube with water before and after the feedings and medication administration to avoid tube obstruction. The site of the tube should be cleaned daily. The GT is not changed daily. The GT is used for medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Skin changes consistent with sun exposure include age spots, actinic keratoses, telangiectasias, lentigines, and freckles. Burrows are lesions seen with animal parasites.
