Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Massage should not be done for a patient with open wounds. The other actions by the new nurse are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The laboratory results, especially albumin and cholesterol levels, may indicate chronic poor protein intake or high-fat/cholesterol intake. Transportation impacts patients' ability to shop for groceries. Depression may lead to decreased appetite. Oral sores or teeth in poor condition may decrease the ability to chew and swallow. Food likes and dislikes are not necessarily associated with malnutrition.
