Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Water soluble lubricants should be used with rectal suppository administration. When not available, water can be used to moisten mucosal surfaces. Petroleum-based and oil-based lubricants can harbor bacteria and promote infection. Unless the patient has pain in the rectal area (in which case another route of administration should be considered), anesthetic should not be required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To facilitate gastric emptying, the patient should be placed in a semi-Fowler's position (30 degree head of bed HOB elevation) for 30 minutes before the start of the feeding. Aspiration is a risk during enteral feedings in the supine position and in the left lateral position. The prone position would prevent gastric emptying and increase the risk of aspiration.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
