Answer to Question 1

B
The intake of certain foods also reflects the patient's culture or beliefs. Foods in various cultures have different status relating to religion, availability, cost, and tradition. For example, some Hispanic-Americans use certain hot foods (e.g., chocolate, cheese, eggs) for conditions producing fever, and cold foods (e.g., fresh vegetables, dairy foods, honey) for disorders such as cancer or headaches. Understand the patient's cultural heritage and the role diet plays in health promotion and maintenance.

Answer to Question 2

C
A knowledge-focused trigger is a question that arises as a result of new information available on the topic. For example, What is the current evidence for the best way to educate patients with low health literacy? A problem-focused trigger is one you face while caring for patients or a trend you see on a nursing unit. Titler et al. (2001) suggest using problem- and knowledge-focused triggers to think critically about clinical and operational nursing-unit issues. It does not include measurement or expectation focuses.
