Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
To irrigate an NG tube, assist the client to 30- to 45-degree position, unless this is contraindicated. Pour the irrigating solution into the container and draw up 30 mL of saline solution (or amount indicated in the order or policy) into syringe. If Salem sump or double-lumen tube is used, make sure that syringe tip is placed in the drainage port and not in the blue air vent. If unable to irrigate the tube, reposition the client and attempt irrigation again. Inject 10 to 20 mL of air and aspirate again.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Anthelmintic enemas are administered to destroy intestinal parasites. Oil retention enemas help to lubricate the stool and intestinal mucosa, making defecation easier. Carminative enemas help to expel flatus from the rectum and relieve distention. Nutritive enemas are administered to replenish fluids and nutrition rectally.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
