Answer to Question 1

C
Goals for this diagnosis are met when the patient is satisfied with means for sexual expression. The other options do not meet this criterion.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nurses working with patients who have dietary issues need to understand the social, emotional, cultural, and religious ties their patients have to food, or the interventions will not be successful.
