Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Recommendations of dietary alterations or substitutions are not beneficial in the assessment of dietary fiber since there is no reason to assume the client will follow those suggestions. Weight loss or gain is not an adequate indication of dietary fiber content. The best way for the nurse to asses if there is sufficient fiber in a client's diet is to conduct a brief diet history of plant based foods.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A gradual weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds each week for the first 6 months is recommended for a total of 10 weight loss.
