Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the client to prepare his or her favorite dish. This can stimulate the client into being active and sticking to a regular intake of food. Oral nutraceutical supplements are provided to clients with difficulty in swallowing, not when a client merely refuses to eat because of depression. Parenteral nutrition need not be provided if the client is conscious and has no difficulty swallowing food. If the client is depressed, it may not help to ask family members to feed the client because this may irritate the client further.

Answer to Question 2

C
