Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Both continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis can be performed in the home. Intermittent peritoneal dialysis is usually performed only in the acute care facility.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,4

The UAP can administer most enemas, assist a client to perform ostomy care if the ostomy is not new, and help a client onto a bedpan. The UAP cannot remove an impaction nor can the UAP assess a client's skin during an ostomy appliance change.
