Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Tapeworm affects the body's ability to absorb food products and weight loss and malnutrition often follow unless treatment is received promptly. As a result, the best nursing diagnosis is imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements. Patients with tapeworm are often symptom-free but may experience some abdominal discomfort and distention as well as weight loss so they do not have chronic pain, constipation, or impaired mobility.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Norfloxacin is a urinary anti-infective that is used in the treatment of adults with UTIs caused by susceptible strains of bacteria, uncomplicated urethral and cervical gonorrhea, and prostatitis caused by Escherichia coli. Solifenacin is an antispasmodic, pentosan polysulfate sodium is a bladder protectant, and alfuzosin is used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
