Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The spleen stores 1 pint of blood, approximately 500 mL, which can be released during emergencies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Initially, the NG tube should be attached to suction to decompress the stomach and prevent nausea. Assessing the tube for the need of future irrigation will be part of the postoperative care.
