Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Once all admission data are collected, the nurse develops an initial plan for the client's care as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours following admission. The nurse cannot delay developing the initial plan for the client's care beyond 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse obtains the length from the nose to earlobe to the xiphoid process and marks the tube appropriately. The first mark on the tube is made at the measured distance from the nose to the earlobe. It indicates the distance to the nasal pharynx, a location that places the tip at the back of the throat but above where the gag reflex is stimulated. The nurse need not measure the distance from jaw to sternum, from mouth to nipples, and from midsternum to umbilicus as these are incorrect procedures.
