The nurse would suggest which of the following clients meet with a dietician to manage protein needs?
 
  1. A middle-aged male who is overweight
   2. An elderly male whose wife of 50 years died 18 months ago
   3. An elderly female with poorly fitting dentures
   4. The young adult female who broke a leg skiing

Question 2

The nurse has been working with a client of limited financial means. The client states that they don't have much money to buy meat, so the nurse recommends the client focus on foods with high biologic value protein.
 
  The nurse knows teaching has been effective when the client says: 1. We only need about 3 ounces of meat per day per person..
   2. Eggs might be an inexpensive way to get protein..
   3. We should consider becoming vegetarian..
   4. Even if I don't eat meat, my children need it grow normally..

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: An elderly adult with poorly fitting dentures will have difficulty chewing and swallowing; a dietician can assist in suggesting foods that are rich in protein and easy to chew. An overweight client does not necessarily need assistance with protein needs, nor does a widowed individual. The young adult who has a broken leg will have increased protein needs for healing, but should not need a dietician to assist with planning for that.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: High biologic value protein in found in many foods, including eggs. A client who is willing to eat eggs will get some high biologic value protein at limited cost. This client is equating meat with protein; it is incorrect to state that 3 ounces of meat per day will meet protein needs or that children need meat for growth. The client may decide to become vegetarian, but that does not address the need for high biologic value protein.
