Question 2

Ms. I is a 40-year-old client who took two doses of Chitosan but each time vomited. Her friend said it had helped her to lose weight, and that she had not had any side effects. Before taking any more, Ms I wanted to discuss it with her provider.

Answer to Question 1

B, C
Feedback:
When EN is not feasible or available, PN should be considered: only after 7 days of hospitalization in a previously well-nourished client who has not received any nutrition therapy, as soon as possible after admission in malnourished clients, for 5 to 7 days preoperatively in malnourished clients expected to undergo major upper gastrointestinal surgery, and PN should only be initiated if the anticipated length of PN therapy is 7 days or more.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Some ingredients in dietary supplements can cause allergic or anaphylactic reactions if clients are unaware of their contents. Chitosan is sold to promote weight loss but is made from shellfish and should be avoided by clients with that allergy.
