Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: This client's most important nursing diagnosis is imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements.. When clients enter the hospital, they often experience difficulty adjusting to an altered role.. It is possible that altered thought processes causes this health condition, but this is not the best response. And, impaired swallowing would be a physiological basis for a problem with poor nutritional intake. This does not apply to this client.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
To keep food safe from bacteria, the Fight BAC campaign recommends proper cleaning, separating raw and cooked foods to prevent cross-contamination, cooking foods to proper temperature, and chilling foods by refrigerating promptly.
