Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
If the nursing assistant pulls the draw sheet from below the client, he or she needs correction and further instructions. Rolling the client to the far end of the bed, loosening the bed linen from one side, and wearing disposable gloves are correct components of bedmaking.

Answer to Question 2

C
The goals of nutrition therapy are to maintain as near-normal a blood glucose level as possible, achieve optimal serum lipid levels, provide adequate calories to maintain or attain a reasonable weight, prevent complications of diabetes, and improve overall health.
