,1. Which of the following interventions is most appropriate
when caring for a patient receiving enteral nutrition via a
nasogastric tube?
- A) Flush the tube with 30 mL of saline before and after
medication administration.
- B) Ensure the patient is in a prone position during
feeding.
- C) Change feeding bags and tubing every 24 hours.
- D) Administer feedings at room temperature.
Answer: C) Change feeding bags and tubing every 24
hours.
Rationale: Changing the feeding bags and tubing every
24 hours reduces the risk of bacterial contamination.
2. In a clinical setting, a nurse is assessing a post-
operative patient who is at risk for thrombophlebitis. What is
the best method to assess this condition?
- A) Measure calf circumference daily.
- B) Check for pupil dilation.
- C) Observe for facial drooping.
- D) Measure blood glucose levels.
Answer: A) Measure calf circumference daily.
Rationale: Increasing calf circumference can be an early
sign of thrombophlebitis due to a deep vein thrombosis.
### Fill-in-the-Blank
3. The _______ scale is commonly used to assess a
patient's risk of developing a pressure ulcer.

, Answer: Braden
Rationale: The Braden Scale is used for predicting
pressure sore risk.
4. Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) should be administered
through a ____________ to prevent complications.
Answer: central venous catheter
Rationale: TPN requires a central venous catheter due to
the high osmolarity of the solution.
### True/False
5. A patient with left-sided heart failure is likely to present
with peripheral edema.
Answer: False
Rationale: Left-sided heart failure typically leads to
pulmonary congestion, while right-sided heart failure leads
to peripheral edema.
6. Infection control practices such as hand hygiene and
using personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential in
preventing the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms
(MDROs).
Answer: True
Rationale: Proper infection control practices reduce the
transmission of MDROs in healthcare settings.
