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. While normally maintaining a diabetic diet the patient can be assisted to prioritize foods that are must haves and determine how to work them into the diet.
