Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This client has had a 12 weight loss. The nurse first determines if the weight loss was intentional. If not, then the nurse proceeds to a comprehensive nutritional assessment. Food intolerances are part of this assessment. Depending on risk factors and other findings, a blood glucose test may be warranted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
120 mg/dose
264 lb  (2.2 lb/kg) = 120 kg.
3 mg/kg/day  120 kg = 360 mg/day.
360 mg/day  3 divided doses = 120 mg/dose.
