Answer to Question 1

A
The nasogastric tube provides decompression and decreases vomiting. A nursing responsibility when a patient has a nasogastric tube is measurement of accurate intake and output, but this is not why nasogastric tubes are inserted. Nasogastric tube placement does not decrease diarrhea. The presence of a nasogastric tube can be perceived as a discomfort by the patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse needs to inspect diapers after a barium enema because it is important to document the passage of barium and note the characteristics of the stool. The physician does not need to be notified when the infant passes the first stool. Dilating the anal sphincter is not appropriate for the child after a barium enema. After reduction, the infant is given clear liquids and the diet is gradually increased.
