Answer to Question 1

D
Increasing fiber intake deters constipation and enhances appetite. Weight gain should be slow and progressive. Frequent small meals should be encouraged to increase dietary intake and to help offset anorexia. Older adults need eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid per day from beverage and food sources.

Answer to Question 2

B
The client with acne should be taught to wash the hair and skin thoroughly each day with very warm water and soap to remove oil.
Moisturizing lotions or creams should not be used, as they tend to clog pores and make the acne worse.
Applying warm or cold soaks is a good measure for skin rashes, not acne.
Adding moisture to the air with the use of a humidifier is an appropriate intervention for the cli-ent with dry skin, not acne.
