Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Foods that are lower in sodium are fruits and vegetables (summer squash) because they do not contain physiological saline. Highly processed or refined foods (tomato soup and instant oatmeal) are higher in sodium unless they are specifically noted as low sodium. Saltwater fish and shellfish are higher in sodium.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Chemotherapy may cause distortion of taste. Frequently, beef and pork are reported to taste bitter or rancid. The nurse can promote client nutrition by helping the client choose alternative sources of protein in the diet, such as mild-tasting fish, cold chicken, turkey, eggs, or cheese. Custard, potatoes, and cantaloupe are not likely to cause distortion of taste.
