Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Nurses generally perform a nutritional screening, whereas the other types of nutritional assessments are completed by the nutritionist.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The tube inserted through the nose into the jejunum is called a nasojejunal tube. An orogastric tube is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. A gastrostomy tube is inserted through the abdominal wall into the stomach, whereas a jejunostomy tube is inserted through the abdominal wall into the jejunum.
