Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Iron supplements will cause the stools to turn a dark green/black color. Maintaining or even increasing fluid is important to maintain adequate fluid volumes and prevent constipation. Clients should eat foods rich in iron such as spinach, not lettuce and cabbage. Clients might require more rest, but there is no reason to decrease exercise.

Answer to Question 2

Four
Rationale : A four-step process is generally used in evidence-based practice.
