Answer to Question 1

D
The diet for the malnourished alcoholic patient should be high in protein and consist of at least 50 carbohydrates. There are no specific limitations for fat, cholesterol, or sodium.

Answer to Question 2

B
Narcan has a short half-life, and opiate action may resume and cause respiratory depression. Narcan may be repeated, or the nurse can request a continuous intravenous infusion of the drug.
