Answer to Question 1

A
Eating only one small meal a day results in inadequate intake of nutrients; this is primary malnu-trition. Secondary PEM results from inadequate nutrient consumption caused by some disease state that impairs food consumption, interferes with nutrient absorption, or increases nutritional requirements. Anorexia nervosa refers to voluntary limitation of food intake because of a dis-torted body image. Iatrogenic malnutrition refers to poor food intake in hospitalized patients be-cause of hospital routines including tests and treatments.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Clients on ventilators who are tube fed should be placed in a semi-recumbent position to reduce the risk of aspiration. Symptoms of GERD occur after eating. Overfeeding may result in increased levels of carbon dioxide which is an end product of macronutrient metabolism. Early satiety may result in a reduction of nutrients and result in malnutrition.
