Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When an obstruction cannot be cleared, the tube should be removed and another inserted rather than compromising nutrition by the delay. Instilling a large volume of very hot tap water is a safety risk. ASA is not used to clear tube obstructions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Rather than simply indicating that the nurse placed a ring in the safe, it is important to describe the type of metal and stones in the ring. Color, size, and weight of the ring are secondary.
