Answer to Question 1

A
Hemosiderosis is most likely to occur in a man with a high intake of alcohol. Adolescents who have high intakes of soft drinks are likely to have high intakes of phosphorus. Toddlers who pre-fer to drink milk rather than eating meals may develop iron deficiency. Pregnant women who take iron supplements are unlikely to store too much iron because iron needs are very high during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: During a nutrition history, the client provides information to the nurse about what the client has eaten. Inadequate protein consumption would be discovered during the nutrition history, during a focused interview based on what was found during the diet recall and possibly in the food frequency questionnaire. The client's weight is assessed during a nutritional screening or during the physical assessment of the nutritional assessment. Ascites would be noted during the physical assessment. A decreased hemoglobin value would be discovered during laboratory testing.
