Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The term percentage refers to the number per hundred. Therefore, 20 equals 20 per hundred. Percent has no specific units of measure. It is actually a ratio. To convert from percentage to a fraction, the percent number becomes the numerator, and 100 is always the denominator.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
If the client has vomiting or nausea, the nurse should position the client on the side to prevent aspiration. The nurse should provide small, low-carbohydrate meals, because rapid feeding of high-calorie, high-carbohydrate food can cause refeeding syndrome. Encouraging the client to drink only water can contribute to electrolyte imbalance, so the nurse should encourage the client to drink a variety of fluids. Electrolytes can be given along with intravenous fluids.
