Answer to Question 1

A
Imbalanced Nutrition: More Than Body Requirements exists when patients experience or are at risk for an intake of nutrients that exceeds metabolic needs. The patient should be instructed in factors such as hereditary predisposition, dysfunctional psychological conditioning in relationship to food, and age-related factors.

Answer to Question 2

D
Health promotion nursing orders encourage behaviors that lead to a higher level of wellness. Observation orders include observation of potential complications as well as observations about the patient's current responses. Prevention orders direct care to reduce risk factors or the prevention of complications. Treatment orders include teaching, referrals, or physical care needed in the treatment of an existing problem.
