Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: During a diet recall, the client is prompted to remember all of the foods and beverages that have been ingested by the client over the last 24 hours. The client who has difficulty remembering events may have trouble with this exercise. Clients diagnosed with emphysema, Crohn's disease, and polycystic kidney disease would be able to provide information about their intake over the last 24 hours; however, the client with early-onset dementia may provide inaccurate or unreliable information during this activity.

Answer to Question 2

C
The main source of iodine in the United States is fortified table salt. Seafood is a good source but most Americans do not eat it often enough for it to be their main source of iodine. Dairy products may contain some iodine, depending on the animal food, but this is not a reliable source. Residues of cleaning products may provide some dietary iodine, but this is not usually enough to be significant.
