Answer to Question 1

B
Proteins are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Some proteins also contain sulfur. After water, proteins are the most abundant intracellular substance. The end products of protein digestion are amino acids. Complete proteins are primarily animal proteins such as those in meats, poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs.

Answer to Question 2

3. Find out when the hospital clergy will be distributing Communion and adjust the client's medications and breakfast accordingly.

Rationale:
To support the client's spiritual needs, the nurse should find out when Communion will be distributed and adjust the medications and breakfast accordingly. The nurse should not suggest that eating and drinking will not affect Communion. The nurse should not ignore the client's needs by providing medication and breakfast. The nurse should also not contact the physician to suggest alternative forms of nutrition, since the client is not refusing to eat or drink but wants to delay eating and drinking until after Communion.
