Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Quietly retrieving the spoon, offering an alternative, reassuring the patient, and devoting new interventions related to the self-feeding deficit are appropriate nursing actions in this situation. Completing an incident report is not necessary unless the nurse or someone else was injured.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Testing for allergy in the eye is no longer done. All other options will produce an inflammatory response from the application of the antigen.
