Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The purpose of the mist tent is to liquefy respiratory secretions. A constant oxygen supply can be given by methods other than a mist tent. A mist tent does not lower temperature or improve hydration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Aspirating stomach contents and aspirating a small amount of air while listening for stomach gurgling are the best ways to ensure correct tube placement. Holding the feeding tube under water to check for bubbling is not an effective method to check tube placement. Gastric distention would be important following the feeding. A gavage feeding is not a sterile procedure.
