Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse has to instruct the client to avoid eating sugary foods so that the client does not develop diabetes. The risk of a CAD increases in a client with diabetes. The client need not refrain from consuming foods rich in carbohydrates, although the client should avoid consuming foods high in fat. The client should not cross her legs when sitting since this will hamper circulation. The client should refrain from elevating her feet when sitting. Instead when sitting, the client should have her feet comfortably touch the floor.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Feedback:
Breast milk is readily available and convenient; it is always the correct temperature and contains antibodies. Nursing helps in the bonding process and speeds involution. Also, breast milk is less likely to cause allergic reactions and other difficulties, and is cheaper than formula. Nursing mothers are less likely to get pregnant, but this is not a guaranteed form of birth control.
