Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
It is the patient's, not the family's, perception that the nurse needs to assess. All the other options listed would be a significant barrier to compliance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Pureing food does not address the inability to eat with dentures.
