Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hypoxemia during FB on mechanically ventilated patients is related to several factors, including loss of lung volume during suctioning, particularly if tidal volume delivery also is compromised. It occurs more frequently in those with acute respiratory distress syndrome and in those insuffi-ciently sedated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The purpose of nutrition assessment is to gather data to develop a nutrition care plan that will ensure adequate nutrition for health and well-being when implemented.
