Answer to Question 1

3. Print the instructions from the computer.

Rationale:
Most hospitals and agencies have computer-generated discharge instructions that the nurse can print to give the client to refer to when at home. This not only prevents calls, but gives the client confidence. Repeating the instructions does not help the client at home. Relatives can forget as easily as the client. It is not the physician's place to reinforce teaching.

Answer to Question 2

1. Eggs

Rationale: Eggs are an excellent source of essential amino acids and are recommended as part of the diet for a client with renal failure who is on a protein-restricted diet. Legumes, nuts, and vegetables do contain protein, but they are incomplete proteins and are not as good protein sources as are eggs.
