Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Xerostomia is a decrease in production of saliva; this decreases the ability and desire to eat and can lead to nutritional problems. The other options do not address taste- or nutrition-related concerns. Dysequilibrium is balance. Diabetic retinopathy affects vision. Peripheral neuropathy includes numbness and tingling of the affected areas and stumbling gait.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In focusing on the psychological aspect of care, the nurse is most concerned about social isolation for a patient who may have difficulty communicating owing to visual and hearing impairment. Self-care deficit, impaired physical mobility, and fall risk are physiological risks for the patient.
