Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Although financial stability is present, spiritual peace evident, and no current physical complications to be considered, the most important thing in meeting the desired outcome is that the client expresses satisfaction regarding relationships with family members. Quality of life is demonstrated when the client expresses satisfaction with a variety of aspects of life.

Feedback:
The nurse may include certain parts of beef that have been ritually slaughtered in the diet of an orthodox Jewish client who follows kosher laws. The kosher dietary laws prohibit the use of pork products, rabbit, and shellfish.
