Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
To prevent malnutrition, ongoing monitoring of residents' intakes is vital so prompt action can be taken if needed. The MDS requires food intake be assessed so residents at risk can be identified.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Loss of appetite is a key indicator for malnutrition. An inadequate intake of food means the supply of nutrients is reduced, which can lead to weight loss and depletion of essential nutrients.
