Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Chicken, black beans, and walnuts are all found in the protein group. This example shows the greatest variety of choices. Following a variety helps ensure more essential nutrients are consumed.

Answer to Question 2

2 Rationale: It is very important for the nurse to assess the client's current beliefs about body size and health. Some cultures identify obesity with positive individual attributes. It is not important to assess whether women or men are typically served first during meals. It is important to note which utensil is preferred by the client, but this is not most important to assess prior to developing a care plan. The client's choices regarding occasional foods is not as important as assessing their common core foods or secondary foods.
