Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

A thorough nutritional assessment should be done on a regular basis. All staff needs to be alert for the signs of malnutrition. If there are complaints about the food, the nurse should check it out immediately. The client and family will need reassurance about the client's condition, will need information about nutritional needs, and will need personal attention for all concerns, and the client may want different foods that can be served within the diet plan. Allow the client to choose favorite foods.
