Answer to Question 1

A
The tube constantly irritates the nasal mucosa, increasing the risk of excoriation. Frequent lubrication with a water-soluble lubricant decreases the likelihood of excoriation. Ice is not applied to the nose. Ice may be applied externally to the throat if the patient reports a sore throat. Xylocaine requires a physician order and is used to treat sore throat, not nasal mucosal excoriation. Changing the tape should be done daily, not every shift.

Answer to Question 2

B
Clinical nursing data elements were not collected by the Management Information System (MIS) Group, as the information was restricted to physician-driven data.
Demographics data was part of the data collected by the Management Information System (MIS) Group.
Statistical data was part of the data collected by the Management Information System (MIS) Group.
Resource utilization data was part of the data collected by the Management Information (MIS) Group.
