Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The stress of illness, surgery, or prolonged periods of time on simple intravenous therapy without oral intake places hospitalized clients at risk for developing protein-calorie malnutrition. This can result in weakness, poor wound healing, mental apathy, and edema.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Anorexia is lack of appetite. It may be related to multiple factors, including diseases, psychosocial causes, impaired ability to chew and taste, or inadequate income.
