Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Renal diets restrict potassium, sodium, protein, and phosphorous intake. Fresh fruits (except bananas) and vegetables are excellent dietary choices for individuals on a renal diet. Meats, processed foods, peanut butter, cheese, nuts, caramels, ice cream, and colas are typically allowed in limited quantities or contraindicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An appropriate goal statement for Impaired swallowing is that the patient will not exhibit any signs or symptoms of aspiration during this hospitalization (e.g., lungs clear, respiratory rate within normal range for patient). Consuming 50 of meals and gaining weight are appropriate goals for Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements. Using assistive devices is an appropriate goal for Feeding: self-care deficit.
