Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
A scaphoid abdomen is one that appears sunken. It is associated with malnutrition. This type of abdominal contour is not associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, Crohn disease, or diverticulitis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Because the patient's protein intake is limited, it is important that the protein choices are complete proteins. Complete proteins are found in animal products such as eggs, milk, milk products, and meat. They contain the greatest amount of amino acids and meet the body's requirements for tissue growth and maintenance. Incomplete proteins are found in legumes, nuts, grains, cereals, and vegetables. These sources are low in or lack one or more of the amino acids essential for building complete proteins.
