Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Hoarseness and a breathy voice quality are manifestations of benign vocal cord tumors. The patient with a cold would exhibit additional signs and symptoms. The list of medications and recent travel history would have a rare relevance to this patient's specific complaints.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The nasogastric tube is inserted through the unobstructed nare to avoid mucosal trauma. A tube could not be placed through an obstructed nare. The nasal edema may persist for a long period, so waiting would not be appropriate. A tube placed through the mouth would be an orogastric tube.
