Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nursing instructor should understand that further teaching is needed if the nursing student states that a diet rich in protein will promote hepatic healing. The treatment of hepatic encephalopathy requires abstention from alcohol and temporary elimination of protein from the diet.

Answer to Question 2

D
Abuse experienced as a child often is assessed in adults with physical, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Illnesses, fears, and education are not typical causes of adult depression and chronic anxiety.
