Answer to Question 1

D
Nursing care of the client who has diverticulosis focuses on preventing diverticulitis; client education includes following a high-fiber diet or taking fiber supplements and stool softeners as prescribed. The nurse should monitor the client who has diverticulitis for evidence of infection; if surgery is scheduled, the nurse should allay the client's anxiety about the procedure and maintain NPO status.

Answer to Question 2

B
Suicidal ideations is when a person has thoughts of hurting or killing him- or herself but may or may not plan to act on these thoughts. It is important to understand the difference between thoughts and actions; having a thought does not mean an action will follow.
