Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Use the clock analogy to orient the person to the location of food on the plate: Your green beans are at 4 o'clock and your baked fish is at 6 o'clock.. Social interaction is important when working with elderly clients, but oftentimes too many distractions may hinder the feeding process. There are many degrees of blindness; allow as much independence as possible.

Answer to Question 2

A
Intrauterine growth retardation is associated with poor weight gain during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes and excessive weight gain during pregnancy are more likely to result in a large infant. Excessive use of vitamin and mineral supplements may be dangerous but is not associated with intrauterine growth retardation.
