Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: All clients receiving Medicare and living in a Medicare-certified health-care facility must be assessed using the Minimum Data Set. The Nutrition Screening Initiative is used for older adults. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool is used in adults for screening purposes only. MyPyramid is not an assessment or screening tool. It is used to quickly assess food intake and compare to dietary recommendations.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
BSE is believed to be caused by prions, an infectious form of a type of protein.
