Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: When a client has conditions like diabetes mellitus or coronary artery disease, the dietician should be part of the team that plans for optimum client outcomes; that includes a nutritional assessment. The nurse needs to rephrase questions if a client does not understand what the nurse needs to know. Likewise, the nurse should seek appropriate sources to answer client questions and that may include a dietician. It would not necessitate a nutritional assessment. Client food preferences do not merit a nutritional assessment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The AHA recommends 2300 mg of sodium per day as a maximum consumption. They also recommend that decreasing to 1500 mg will help improve health and lower the risk for various cardiovascular disorders.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
