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.
