Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
A nasogastric feeding tube, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube, and a jejunostomy tube are used to administer enteral feedings and can also be used to administer medications. Do not administer medications into nasogastric tubes that are inserted for decompression.

Cyanosis caused by hypoxia is observed in the oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva of the eye, and around the lips, known as circumoral cyanosis. Nail bed cyanosis may be caused by peripheral vascular disease or cold temperatures.
