Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The skill of administering an enema can be delegated to an NAP. The skill of inserting and maintaining a nasogastric (NG) tube cannot be delegated to an NAP. The nurse should do the first postoperative pouch change. Digitally removing stool cannot be delegated to nursing assistive personnel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The path of digestion goes from the ascending, across the transverse, to the descending and finally passing into the sigmoid; therefore, the least formed stool (very liquid) would be in the ascending.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
