Answer to Question 1

10
Conversion: 1 tsp = 5 mL; 2 tsp = 10 mL.

Answer to Question 2

C. Test is contraindicated in clients with severe upper GI bleeding because viewing lens may get covered with blood clots, preventing visualization.
D. EGD is contraindicated in clients with Zenker's diverticulum or a large aortic aneurysm.
