Answer to Question 1

A
As an NG tube is being inserted, ask the client to tip the head forward when the tube reaches the nasopharynx to minimize gagging.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing care of clients with STIs includes completing a confidential assessment, including sexual history and symptoms; using a nonjudgmental approach that assists in reducing client anxiety; teaching about the specific STI(s), including mode of transmission, prescribed treatment, and prevention of further infection; and following up regarding sexual partners and their need for treatment.
