Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An appropriate goal is that patients will have formed, less frequent stools not an absence of stools. Receiving adequate intravenous fluids or antibiotic therapy are interventions not goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Patients traveling to areas with potential traveler's diarrhea should be taught to drink bottled water and eat meats that are well-cooked. Prophylactic antibiotics are not recommended. Patients should eat cooked, washed fruits and vegetables. Loperamide can increase exposure to pathogens by slowing motility.
