Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Rinse the bag and tubing with warm water whenever feedings are interrupted. Use a new administration set every 24 hours. Allowing the container to empty over 30 to 45 minutes is the method used for intermittent administration of tube feedings. Administer water via a feeding tube as ordered or between feedings. This provides the patient with a source of water to help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and clears the tubing of formula. Gradually advancing the rate of concentration of the tube feeding helps to prevent diarrhea and gastric intolerance to formula.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
