Answer to Question 1

4. Discuss the role of fat in daily intake

Rationale:
All individuals require some fat in the diet. It is important for the nurse to discuss this with the client. A discussion with the parents and physician is likely warranted but can wait until after discussion with the client. The interaction will provide additional information concerning the client's knowledge of the needed dietary elements. A referral from the physician is needed to contact the dietitian.

Answer to Question 2

4. Face the client during conversation

Rationale:
The best intervention is to face the client during conversation so that the client can employ any lip-reading skills. The nurse should use longer phrases that more completely explain concepts. Over-articulation of words makes them difficult to lip-read. The volume of voice should be consistent.
