Answer to Question 1

D
Foods rich in folic acid include green leafy vegetables, liver, kidney, and asparagus. More limited amounts may be found in milk, poultry, and eggs.
Ice cream is not a rich source of folic acid but does provide calcium.
Beef is not a rich source of folic acid but does provide protein.
Orange juice is not a rich source of folic acid but does provide vitamin C.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse performs evaluative measures, such as completing a wound assessment, to evaluate wound healing. Nurses do not delegate assessment to nursing assistive personnel. Documenting better is subjective and does not objectively describe the wound. Leaving the dressing off for the nurse's benefit of easier access is not a part of the evaluation process.
