Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A home health referral would allow for the assessment of the patient's long-term response after discharge. The other actions allow evaluation of the patient's short-term response to teaching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
All of the answers address the patient's sodium intake, but the desired patient behaviors in the learning objective are most clearly addressed by evaluating the sodium content of the patient's menu choices.
