Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Caffeine increases irritability, insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness. Alcohol aggravates depression and should be avoided. Fluid intake should not be decreased. Six smaller meals a day will help maintain glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The client should be encouraged to eat six small meals a day to decrease the risk of hypoglycemia. Less intake of salty foods helps decrease fluid retention. Alcohol consumption aggravates depression. Caffeine consumption increases irritability, insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness.
