Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Placing the tube behind the patient, hanging the IV bag behind patient's field of vision, and cov-ering PEG tube with an abdominal binder decrease the likelihood of the patient accidently pull-ing out the lines. Soft mitts should be used instead of hand restraints.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The collaboration between multiple organizations potentially improves the quality of gerontological nursing care as the number of elders grows.
B Incorrect. This document establishes criteria for gerontological nursing practice.
C Correct. Various gerontological nursing organizations collaborated to define the criteria for gerontological nursing practice, demonstrating agreement among the various organizations on these standards.
