Answer to Question 1

A
When patients have nasogastric, feeding, or endotracheal tubes inserted through the nose, change the tape, anchoring the tube at least once a day. When the tape becomes moist from nasal secretions, the skin and mucosa can easily become macerated (softened by soaking). Friction from a tube causes tissue injury. Anchor tubing correctly with tape or fixative devices to minimize tension or friction on the nares. Pulling away gently is preferred after soaking with warm moist clothes. Alcohol and adhesive remover are not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
The best intervention is to prevent fires. Home fires are a major cause of death and injury. Another problem related to fatal fires is a failure to keep fresh batteries in home smoke detectors. The improper use of cooking equipment and appliances, particularly stoves, is another source for in-home fires. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors need to be placed strategically throughout a home. Multipurpose fire extinguishers need to be near the kitchen and any workshop areas. Children at these early stages are curious; they explore their environment, and because of an increase in oral activity, put objects in their mouths. If food is prepared and stored properly, food poisoning risk can be decreased. Temperature changes can lead to hypothermia and/or heatstroke or heat exhaustion.
