Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
A nurse's role includes performing nutritional screening to assess a patient's risk status for malnutrition, assessing and assisting an adult patient with feeding, and identifying patients at risk for aspiration during oral feeding. Although determining body weight is one aspect of assessing nutritional status, it is not the focus of a nutritional screening.

Answer to Question 2

5 dextrose
The 5 dextrose solution will maintain the fluid and electrolyte balance of the patient until either the PN therapy may be restarted or gradually withdrawn.
