Question 2

The nurse is concerned that Mrs. D continues to lose weight. This problem started several years ago after she was hospitalized with Crohn's disease. Since then she had one additional exacerbation of the problem.
 
  Although she generally feels well, she has lost several pounds a month in the past 6 months. The nurse is concerned that she may not be getting all of the required calories and nutrients for a balanced diet and is at risk for malnutrition. One reason for this may be: 1. Poor nutritional intake can continue even when the disease is not active due to ongoing avoidance of foods that can cause symptoms associated with a disease to flare up. 2. Patients do not understand the physiological basis for inflammatory bowel disease and may avoid foods that could contribute to healing and good health. 3. A low-fat, low-carbohydrate diet along with an increase in exercise is the standard treatment for Crohn's disease so clients naturally lose weight. 4. Migration of bacteria from the gut to other locations in the body increase metabolism and accounts for weight loss with Crohn's disease.

Answer to Question 1

B
TEFAP supplements the dietary intake of low-income families at the same time as reducing sur-plus dairy commodities. The program does not include an education component. It is a domestic program and does not provide food to other nations. It is available to people of all ages, not just to young children and older adults.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Poor nutritional intake can continue even when disease is not active due to ongoing avoidance of foods that can cause symptoms associated with a disease to flare up. During inactive disease, clients are at nutritional risk because of malabsorption resulting from inflammation of the bowel's absorptive surface. Dietary adjustments may be needed to promote healing of the mucosal surfaces and fistulas that develop during active disease states. Adequate nutrition is necessary to promote intestinal integrity and to prevent migration of intestinal bacteria to other parts of the body which can result in infection.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
