Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should ensure that the patient has small, frequent meals (five to six daily) because these may be more appealing than three large meals. The nurse should take vital signs every 4 hours, not 8. Stool samples for testing should be maintained at room temperature and not frozen. There is no need to avoid foods that acidify the urine.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should obtain stool samples of patients with suspected parasitic infection. There is no need to obtain samples of blood, urine, or saliva in cases of suspected parasitic infection.
