Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 200 grams

Rationale: First determine the number of calories for carbohydrates by multiplying the total number of calories by the percentage; 1600 calories  50 = 800 calories. Then divide the total calories by calories/gram. For carbohydrates, this would be 800 calories/4 = 200 grams. The client should eat 200 grams of carbohydrates each day.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 6, 2, 4, 3, 1, 5
Rationale: When removing a nasogastric tube, the nurse should: (1) apply clean gloves; (2) ask the client to take a deep breath and to hold it; (3) pinch the tube with the gloved hand; (4) smoothly withdraw the tube; (5) place the tube in a plastic bag; and (6) observe the intactness of the tube.
