Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should keep the client's belongings secured in a locker. This is what is normally done for clients who are not expected to stay longer than 24 hours in the health care facility. Relatives of clients who may stay for a longer time will be asked to take back the belongings. Health care facilities do not permit clients to wear ornaments or keep their belongings with them during their stay at the facility. The admitting department does not take responsibility for clients' belongings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Intestinal tubes used in intestinal decompression are now weighted with tungsten, not with mercury, because mercury is hazardous to both the client and the environment. One lumen is used to suction the intestinal contents and the other acts as a vent to reduce suction-induced trauma to the intestinal tissue. The weighted tip and peristalsis, if present, propel the tube beyond the stomach and into the intestine.
