Answer to Question 1

2
Checking the capillary refill time determines that circulation is not compromised. The other options can be completed after ensuring that circulation to the site is still adequate.

4
Hyperalimentation is associated with parenteral nutrition, not enteral nutrition. The others are forms of administration of nutrients into the gastrointestinal tract.
