Answer to Question 1
B
A successful weight-loss plan involves sustainable lifestyle modifications that include physical activity, self-monitoring, portion control, and knowledge of energy content of food. Getting the weight off quickly is not healthy. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension has shown to reduce blood pressure and focuses on reducing the bad cholesterol, not the bad carbohydrates. There is a lack of good evidence evaluating the effectiveness of commercial weight-loss programs.
Answer to Question 2
D
Asking a family member to sit with the patient is the best answer because it does not restrain the patient physically or chemically. The Joint Commission has set guidelines for the use of restraints in hospitals. These regulations set the standard that all patients have the right to be free from seclusion and physical or chemical restraints except to ensure the patient's safety in emergency situations. The standards specifically prohibit restraining patients for staff convenience, punishment, or retaliation.
