Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should provide a dietary consultation that includes information on a high-calorie, high-protein diet and encourage adequate fluid intake, of at least eight glasses per day. Then nurse should also instruct the client in the implications of low blood counts, such as the potential for infection, fatigue, or abnormal bleeding. The client may become discouraged or physically ill and may wish to discontinue treatment. The nurse could help by listening to the client and providing encouragement.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A nurse doing telephone triage should sort the calls and decide which has to be referred to appropriate emergency services. If the calls do not require emergency assistance, they should be referred to appropriate physicians. The nurse should not provide suggestions to the caller on any of the procedures he or she should follow. A nurse doing telephone triage should find out if the elderly client who is calling needs immediate assistance or can visit the physician on a future appointment rather than providing an appointment. The healthcare facility sets up protocols for nurses doing telephone triage, and all nurses should follow the protocols to assess calls during triage. Nurses should not set up individual protocols for telephone triage.
