Answer to Question 1

A
Heme iron is absorbed most easily. Nonheme iron is absorbed less efficiently. Iron in foods is not described as free.. Iron supplements contain nonheme iron which is absorbed less efficiently.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: Nutritional screenings are quick and efficient ways to determine if a client requires a full nutritional assessment. Nutritional screens include weight, weight history, and if the client can receive oral nutrition. Nutritional assessments include a nutrition history, physical assessment, and laboratory diagnostic tests. The client's current weight, recent weight loss, and ability to swallow without difficulty would be assessed during a nutritional screening. A nutritional assessment would include the client's albumin level, among other diagnostic tests used to assess nutritional status.
