-
Hot
-
Chilled
-
Lukewarm
-
Room temperature
Correct Answer
A. Room temperatureExplanation
The solution temperature during gastric gavage should be at room temperature. This is because extreme temperatures, such as hot or chilled, can cause discomfort or harm to the patient. Lukewarm temperature may also not be ideal as it can potentially cause burns or irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, room temperature is the most appropriate option to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient during gastric gavage.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 750 to 1000 ccExplanation
The correct answer is 750 to 1000 cc. This range is the maximum amount of urine that should be removed during catheterization in order to prevent rapid decompression of the urinary bladder. Removing a larger amount of urine at once can cause the bladder to rapidly contract and potentially lead to complications such as bladder spasms or injury.Rate this question:
