Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should suggest a skilled nursing facility for the client for continued care until complete recovery. A nursing home licensed as a skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour nursing care under the direction of a registered nurse. An intermediate care facility provides health-related care and services to people who, because of their mental or physical condition, require institutional care but not 24-hour nursing. A basic care facility or an agency that provides extended custodial care provides shelter, food, and laundry services in a group setting where the clients assume much responsibility for their own activities of daily living, such as hygiene and dressing, preparing for sleep, and joining others for meals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Cyclic feedings are often used to wean clients from tube feedings while continuing to maintain adequate nutrition. This change would not likely be prompted by increased nutritional needs, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, or increased activity.
