Answer to Question 1

D
Foods high in protein will not only help with increasing weight but will aid in synthesizing needed antibodies for this condition. Fats, vitamin C, and vitamin B12 will not address either the need for weight gain or antibody synthesis.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
The level of consciousness, orientation, sensory status, motor skills, and pupillary responses are all integral components of the neurological assessment. Asking the patient to spell his name is not an assessment of neurological status, particularly immediately following surgery.
