Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A mitt or glove prevents the child from scratching or pulling on tubes. A papoose board is used for brief procedures such as starting an IV line, because it is uncomfortable. An armboard is used to protect IV sites, and a mummy restraint is used to restrain the entire body with a blanket.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
For enteral tube feedings, it is essential that the client have a normally functioning GI tract. Parenteral nutrition involves direct IV administration of fluids and nutrients into the circulatory system. This method is referred to as parenteral nutrition because it does not access the digestive system (the enteral route). Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is sometimes called total parenteral alimentation. Hyperalimentation is incorrect terminology because the amounts given are not excessive. If the stomach is functioning normally, it is safer and more appropriate to use enteral nutrition.
