Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should include information, such as the client's typical diet, exercise regimen, and sleep habits, as part of ADL in the nursing history. The client's psychosocial stability information is not part of the ADL. The symptoms of any recent diseases are a part of the recent health history and should not be included in the ADL section of the nursing history.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Appropriate nursing interventions for elderly clients with fluid and electrolyte imbalances include the following: encourage the client to increase intake of food and fluid and to exercise and monitor the client's sodium level and blood pressure.
