Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
According to one description of failure to thrive, components include impaired physical function, depression, malnutrition, and cognitive decline. Poor dentition is not specifically mentioned.

Answer to Question 2

D
These values are normal for the patient's age. If the patient had complaints, the nurse would per-form further assessments, but because the patient does not appear to have complaints, the nurse documents the results.
