Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The clear liquid diet is a short-term diet ideal for clients after surgeries or in acute stages of infection, particularly of the GI tract. The diet does not supply adequate protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, or calories, so it would not be appropriate for a client with malnutrition or reduced protein intake. If the client had a gastrostomy tube placed, it would be anticipated that she would be fed via the tube, and would not be placed on a clear liquid diet.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,3,4

The responsibility for nutritional assessment and support in most health care facilities belongs to the primary care provider, the nurse, and the dietitian. The client should be involved in the nutritional plan of care, but is not responsible for assessment. Food service staff serve trays on the floor, and may assist clients to complete their menu order, but do not assess clients.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
