Answer to Question 1

A
Size is correct if, when the flange is held parallel to the front teeth with the airway against the patient's cheek, the end of the curve reaches the angle of the jaw.

Answer to Question 2

A jejunostomy tube would be appropriate for this patient. A nasally inserted tube would be inappropriate for long-term use; this fact rules out nasogastric and nasoenteric tubes. A tube placed into the stomach would be inappropriate for a patient with inadequate gastric emptying; this fact rules out gastrostomy and nasogastric tubes.
