Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Most nutritionists agree that fasting or following a very low-calorie diet defeats a weight-loss plan because the body interprets this eating pattern as starvation, and compensates by slowing down the basal metabolic rate, making it even more difficult to lose weight.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The nurse should solicit food preferences and encourage favorite foods from home, when possible. Be sure the foods look attractive and the eating area is free of odors, clutter, and distractions during mealtime. Provide small, frequent meals to avoid overwhelming the client with large amounts of food.
