Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A kidney transplant recipient is placed on a protein-restricted diet. Pasta with plain tomato sauce is the lowest-protein menu item listed. The other meals are high in protein. Sodium may be limited too

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
All interventions are appropriate for a child with AKI. However the child's laboratory results indicate malnutrition, and with the dietary restrictions the child must follow, ensuring adequate nutrition is difficult. A referral to a dietitian is most important.
