Answer to Question 1

ANS:
B, D, A, C

Whenever an IV infiltration is discovered, the infusion site must be carefully inspected for signs of injury. The infusion is discontinued and the physician contacted, especially if necrosis, sloughing, blistering, or unusual swelling is seen. Warm, moist compresses should be applied to the area.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Enteral medications are given directly into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through oral, nasogastric, or rectal routes. TPN solutions are administered intravenously, which is a parenteral route.
