Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
The major nutrients, often referred to as macronutrients (nutrients that are needed in large amounts), include carbohydrates (sugar, starches, and dietary fiber). Water is also a macronutrient. Potassium is a mineral, and riboflavin is vitamin B2; these are micronutrients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Document the length of the tube to be used if the tube has a preprinted measurement scale. For any tube (with or without a preprinted scale), mark the measurement on the tube using a small piece of tape to ensure proper placement of the tube; fold the ends of the tape for easy removal. Do not use a permanent marker to mark the tube; it can cause confusion if the mark is not exact once the radiology confirms placement. Lubricate 4 inches of the tube tip with a water-soluble lubricant. For an NG tube, measure the length of tube needed for the patient by placing the tip of the tube at the tip of the patient's nose and extending it to the patient's earlobe and then to the patient's xiphoid process. Clean gloves are used.
