Answer to Question 1

A
Instruction regarding eating habits and maintaining weight and nutrition is important. For exam-ple, small, frequent meals, pureed or soft foods, and high-protein, high-calorie foods are helpful. Thin liquids are often harder to swallow than thickened ones. Nutrient-dense foods are impor-tant, but so is maintaining calorie requirements.

Answer to Question 2

C
Corticosteroids are an effective long-term control medication that can be used in increasing doses as needed for asthma and related disorders. It is given by the inhalation method, so the nurse teaches the patient how to use and maintain the inhaler. The other teaching tips are incorrect.
