Answer to Question 1

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.

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