Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Valsalva's maneuver is performed by taking a breath, holding it, and bearing down. Patients are instructed to perform this maneuver in order to prevent the formation of air emboli.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
TPN with IV therapy is prone to air embolism. Symptoms of air embolism are coughing and dyspnea. Decreased breath sounds occur with aspiration, which is a complication of nasogastric feedings. Diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal distension occur with nasogastric feedings.
