Answer to Question 1

A
Since inflammation is an early response to infection, an elevation of the C-reactive protein (which elevates with inflammation) is an indicator of possible impending infection. C-reactive protein is not directly related to hemorrhage, drug reaction, or fluid deficit.

Answer to Question 2

A
Finger foods on the nonparalyzed side encourage self-feeding. Privacy is more supportive to early efforts than being in a common dining room. Smaller helpings on the same side of the nonparalyzed limb are conducive to self-feeding.
