Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Many nursing diagnoses likely apply to this patient's situation, but there is evidence that she grieves her inability to perform a caregiving role for her grandchildren. There is no evidence that the patient's health maintenance is inadequate or that she has low self-esteem. Spiritual distress is also not in evidence.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Soy is used as a food source and has been researched extensively to lower cholesterol. Ginkgo biloba, green tea, and garlic do not have extensive scientific research to support the lowering of cholesterol.
