On admission, the daughter of a stroke victim emphasizes that she only feeds her father nutritional supplements at home because she is afraid he will choke if he eats real food and he prefers the supplements.
 
  The best response for the nurse would be: 1. We will be sure that he is evaluated by a nutritionist and speech pathologist while he is here to help you plan his diet..
   2. Nutritional supplements contain all of the components of a regular diet in liquid form, and are a good option for people who are at risk for aspiration or choking..
   3. Nutritional supplements are high is salt and sugar content and are not a healthy choice for people who can still eat..
   4. It's better to give your father what he wants to eat rather than try to force him to eat a healthy diet..

Question 2

The nurse is preparing the client to make the necessary dietary changes from what she has been doing during her pregnancy to what she should do during lactation. What should breastfeeding mothers be advised?
 
  A) Thirst is not a reliable indicator of need.
  B) Even if a mother has adequate fat stores, calorie intake should be increased.
  C) The intake does not need to be restricted because the caffeine does not enter breast milk.
  D) If she does not consume enough calcium, her milk will be calcium deficient.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: A client who has had a stroke may be at risk for choking or aspiration, and should be evaluated by a nutritionist and speech pathologist who can recommend an appropriate diet. Nutritional supplements are designed to be a source of additional nutrients but aren't adequate as the sole source of food. Nutritional supplements contain balanced amounts of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. A diet that is nutritionally adequate promotes mental function and helps to maintain skin integrity and healing.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Women use approximately 500 calories above their normal total daily calorie needs to produce breast milk. An extra 330 cal/day are recommended for the first 6 months and an extra 400 cal/day for the second 6 months. Thirst can be a reliable indicator of need; caffeine can enter the breast milk; and if she does not consume enough calcium, her body will pull it from other areas to ensure the milk has enough.
