QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\




The nurse is caring for a client who refuses most foods on the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


dietary tray. Which nursing intervention is appropriate?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




a) Contact the healthcare provider to prescribe an appetite
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


stimulant.
b) Delegate feeding assistance to the unlicensed assistive
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


personnel. |\




c) Assess when client generally eats meals.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




d) Allow the client privacy during mealtime. - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔c) Assess when the client generally eats meals
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Rationale:
There are many reasons a client may refuse food that is served.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


The nurse should assess for food preferences, when the client
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


generally eats, whether the client has digestive concerns, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cultural beliefs about foods. Leaving the client alone to eat, or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


simply delegating feeding, does not encourage intake. The client
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


does not need an appetite stimulant until a full assessment has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


been conducted and other interventions have been implemented.

legumes (peas, beans, and peanuts), nuts, and components of

A healthy, nonpregnant, nonlactating woman asks the nurse how
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


many calories a day she should consume. Which response from
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

size, physical condition, and physical activity. On average,

healthy adult women require 1,600 to 2,400 cal/day and adult
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


men require 2,000 to 3,000 cal/day; the lower end of the range is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


for sedentary individuals, whereas the higher end is for active
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


individuals (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2010). |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

should come from food sources such as fruit or 100% fruit juices.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
