Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The diagnosis of self-care deficit: feeding is the most appropriate answer and would indicate that intervention is appropriate to ensure the client is getting adequate nutrition. A colostomy that is functioning correctly would be similar to adequate bowel function in others. A resolved swallowing disorder and decreased physical activity do not necessarily require nutrition intervention.

Answer to Question 2

D
