Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Several dietary organizations have suggested that a vegetarian diet, if correctly
followed, is healthy for this population.
B A vegetarian diet is healthy for this population, and the low-fat aspect of the diet
can prevent future cardiovascular problems.
C As with any adolescent, nurses need to advise teens who follow a vegetarian
eating plan to avoid low-nutrient, high-fat foods.
D The nurse can assist with planning food choices that will provide sufficient
calories and necessary nutrients. The focus is on obtaining enough calories for
growth and energy from a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts,
and soymilk.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Encouraging the client to ambulate freely would increase the inflammation.
2. Aspirin 650 mg by mouth has anticoagulant properties, but usually is not necessary unless complications occur.
3. Methergine is given only for postpartum hemorrhage, and would only cause vasoconstriction of an already inflamed vessel.
4. The client will likely be placed on bedrest because these symptoms indicate the presence of superficial thrombophlebitis. The treatment involves bedrest, elevation of the affected limb, analgesics, and use of elastic support hose.
