Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse can assist the patient in maintaining nutritional intake by advising rest for 30 minutes before eating.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Getting a sunburn on a cloudy day is possible, especially if she is near water. An SPF of 15 is needed for fair-skinned people, but SPF 4 to 6 may be sufficient for her. As she has dark skin, she does not need to stay indoors, but neither should expose herself to ultraviolet rays unnecessarily or without any sunscreen.
