Answer to Question 1

A, B
The nurse, dietitian, and physician collaborate to select an enteral feeding formula based on the patient's protein and calorie requirements and digestive ability. Formulas in the United States are sterile and lactose free. Disease-specific formulas are available, but research has not always supported their efficacy.

Answer to Question 2

Acapella device
The Acapella is a handheld airway clearance device. It provides positive expiratory pressure (PEP) with oral airway oscillations. Positive expiratory pressure stabilizes airways and improves aeration of the distal lung areas. During exhalation, pressure from the airways is transmitted to the Acapella device, which helps mucus dislodge from the airway walls and as a result prevents airway collapse, accelerates expiratory flow, and moves mucus toward the trachea
