Answer to Question 1

A
The best meal for the patient would be the grilled chicken sandwich, small tossed salad and an apple.
Items that should not be on a low-sodium diet include bacon, corned beef, ham, hot dogs, sausage,
canned soups and vegetables, pickles, saltine crackers, and snack foods such as potato chips.

Answer to Question 2

C
The behaviors of perfectionism are considered to be time wasters and should be avoided by nurses. Instead of striving for perfection, striving for a pursuit of excellence is considered to be a worthwhile endeavor. Some behaviors specific to perfectionism/perfectionists are: 1) hate criticism; 2) are devastated by failure; 3) have to win in order to maintain high self-esteem (not value themselves for who they are, which is a characteristics of those who pursue excellence); 4) remember mistakes and dwell on them; and 5) can only live with being number one.
