To answer your first question yes. In fact a gunshot wound to the lungs while serious is a breath of fresh air when considering the alternatives of a heart or brain GSW.
Normally when associate gun shot wounds we think people die of hemmorhage or destruction tissue, and all things considered it is a possibility (The right Brachiocephalic artery is a major artery supplying the head or and left arm). A nick to artery could kill you pretty fast. Additionally you have the pulmonary arteries and veins which could also kill you through exsanguanation. However these are less likely. Nominally the the lungs do not have so much thick vascularity.
The lungs however do have the consistency of tissue paper, and rely on a vacuum between it and the pleural space in order to breath (Boyle's law; I can explain it if you need just comment). If a hole is punched into the lung especially from a projectile you have the slower risk of bleeding and air going into the space. That space will constanly expand, collapsing the lung, as the patient breathes, untel it vill the entire pleural cavity. However air and blood will continue to leak into the space until eventually it begins to push into onto the other lung and the heart. Thisblife threatening condition is called Pneumothorax or in late stage's where it pushes the heart, a Tension Pneumothorax. This can obstruct the other lungs breathing capacity as well as the hearts ability to pump blood. This causes Obstructive shock and then coma, then death. However this is usually a somewhat slow way to go and can easily be prevented with fast and rapid transport, and applying pressure to the wound (you may still have a whole in the lung leaking air, but by applying pressure you stop the contribution of the hole in of the chest). Nominally in the hospital we'd repair and remove the bullet, suture up the wounds, and decompress the sac and you should be good as new. Usually the process to die can take a while.... Interesting fact, you can see a Pneumothorax as the tracheal will curve toward the healthy lung.
If you have any questions just ask below.
A nurse is preparing to give medications through a nasogastric feeding tube. The nursing action should prevent complications during administration is to Mix each medication individually. Thus option A is correct.
<h3>
What are the use of nasogastric feeding tube ?</h3>

This flexible tube is used as temporary food and liquid delivery system to stomach and also its removes the substances from stomach.
It can also be used for removing liquids or air from the stomach, protect the bowel after any surgery. Thus option A is correct.
