Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
All verbal orders should be converted immediately to writing and signed by the individual re-ceiving the order. While the remaining options are not incorrect, they are not the immediate prior-ity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
An enema is an example of an instillation whereby the fluid is retained for a period of time to facilitate a therapeutic response. What the ancillary personnel was describing was an irriga-tionthe liquid runs over or into the area and is allowed to immediately flow away. Options 1, 3, and 4 are correct and do not require follow-up.
