17. Question 17
    • The patient's usual writing hand
    • A change suggesting displacement or impaired function
    • The patient's favourite meal
    • The colour of the room curtains
18. Question 18
    • It addresses whether the tube is in the intended location
    • It eliminates the need for documentation
    • It determines the patient's preferred feeding schedule
    • It replaces all monitoring for complications
19. Question 19
    • Successful patient education
    • Possible tube displacement
    • Improved tube patency
    • Normal insertion-site cleansing
20. Question 20
    • The tube is not open or usable
    • The tube-entry area has been assessed
    • The patient received an explanation
    • The tube's location is documented
21. Question 21
    • Explaining the procedure
    • Assessing and cleansing the insertion site
    • Administering medication
    • Suctioning stomach contents
22. Question 22
    • Rely only on the patient's report that the tube is present
    • Assess only whether feeding has been ordered
    • Compare current placement, patency, site condition, and patient response with expected findings
    • Document only an abnormal finding and omit expected observations
23. Question 23
    • Recognize the deviation, assess within scope, and report it through the appropriate pathway
    • Assume the tube is functioning normally
    • Ignore it if the patient has no immediate complaint
    • Remove the tube without following policy
24. Question 24
    • A dated description of placement, patency, site condition, actions, and patient response
    • Tube okay
    • No concerns
    • Care completed
25. Question 25
    • Use whichever equipment is closest, regardless of its purpose
    • Select equipment based only on its colour
    • Avoid checking equipment compatibility
    • Select equipment appropriate to the tube-related task and agency policy
