Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

Genetic factors are strongly linked to the risk for colorectal cancer. Family history of the disease increases an individual's risk for its development. Inflammatory bowel diseases increase the risk of colorectal cancer. The disease is prevalent in people who consume diets high in meat proteins. Cereal fiber does not play a role in the development of colorectal cancer. The use of aspirin and multivitamins may reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The nurse should discuss ways to avoid future episodes of acute respiratory infections by encouraging the client to receive immunization against pneumococcal pneumonia and influenza. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant which can adversely affect respiratory status and lead to the development of respiratory acidosis. The ingestion of bananas and oranges will not promote the development of respiratory acidosis. The client should be instructed to complete a full course of antibiotics prescribed to treat infections.
