Answer to Question 1

D
D. A medication may be ordered PC (after meals).
A. An oral medication is one given by mouth.
B. A medication that is ordered prn (pro re nata) is intended to be given according to circumstances or when needed.
C. A medication may be ordered AC (before meals).

Answer to Question 2

B
The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is specifically designed to meet to the needs of geriatric patients in long term care facilities. The MUST tool is particularly designed for assessing older adults in clinical settings, including acute care. Including anthropomorphic measurements might be part of an assessment as might information from the nutrition intake log , but neither would provide a complete picture in this case.
