Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An emancipated minor is one who is legally under the age of majority but is recognized as having the legal capacity of an adult under circumstances prescribed by state law, such as pregnancy, marriage, high school graduation, independent living, or military service.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Visual inspection and pH check of stomach contents is a reliable method of determining placement before each use. Radiologic examination should be obtained after initial placement but would be too cumbersome to do before each use. Auscultation is an unreliable method to confirm tube placement because of the similarity of sounds produced by air in the bronchus, esophagus, or pleural space. Verification of tape placement on the tube can be inaccurate if the tube has moved within the tape or become dislodged from the stomach.
