Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale: The 83-year-old client might have concerns about ability to function after surgery.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale: Helping the client improve intake begins with providing good oral care, because a bad taste in the mouth can reduce appetite. Keeping the client's environment clean facilitates eating, so cleaning off the bedside table and minimizing clutter are important nursing interventions. Snacks that will not spoil should be kept at the bedside so the client can snack when he feels hungry, and keeping fluids on hand will increase the client's intake. Snacks should be healthy and provide nutrients required for healing and recovery. Nagging the client to eat or overloading the tray with food is more likely to reduce appetite.
