Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale 1: A client with HIV who is vomiting would benefit from parenteral or enteral nutrition.
Rationale 2: A client with IBS who is suffering from malnutrition would benefit from parenteral or enteral nutrition.
Rationale 3: A client with minor burns would not require either parenteral or enteral nutrition.
Rationale 4: A client who is status postappendectomy without complications would not benefit from parenteral or enteral nutrition.
Rationale 5: An anorexic client who is refusing to eat by mouth would benefit from parenteral or enteral nutrition.
Global Rationale: Patients with malnutrition, such as clients with HIV who are vomiting or patients with IBS may benefit from enteral or parenteral nutrition. This feeding strategy is also used when treating patients who are anorexic who refuse to eat. It is not used for those who can eat such as a client with minor burns or a patient who had an appendectomy without complications.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions, such as bone matrix construction.
Rationale 2: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions, such as muscle contraction.
Rationale 3: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions, such as nerve conduction.
Rationale 4: Calcium does not play a role in fluid balance.
Rationale 5: Calcium does not play a role in promoting a healthy immune system.
Global Rationale: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions such as bone matrix construction, muscle contraction, hormone and enzyme secretion, hemostasis, and nerve conduction. It does not play a role in fluid balance or in promoting a healthy immune system.
