Answer to Question 1

C
Once placement is confirmed, a mark should be placed (either by making a red mark or using tape) on the tube to indicate where the tube exits the nose. The mark or tube length is used as a guide to indicate whether displacement may have occurred.
The tube should be taped to the nose, not to the ear.
The tubing should be secured to the client's gown, not to the bed.
The tubing should not be changed daily; it may be irrigated daily.

Answer to Question 2

A
Meditation is indicated for stress-related illness. A person can learn to calm down and cope with stress through the use of meditation. Ayurvedic herbs have been used for centuries to treat illness. Acupuncture focuses on redirecting Qi via the body's meridian energy lines to influence deeper internal organs. Chiropractic therapy involves manipulation of the spinal column and includes physiotherapy and diet therapy.
