Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: It is not appropriate to use a client's waist circumference as a way to screen for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus if the client has a medical condition that produces a rotund abdomen. Clients with cirrhosis may have ascites due to low albumin levels. Nurses should not screen pregnant female clients for these disorders with this method. It would be appropriate to screen clients with peripheral arterial disease with this method. It would not be appropriate to use this screening method in clients with pancreatic cancer. Their abdomen may be larger due to the tissue mass within the abdomen.

Answer to Question 2

C
Oatmeal is a good dietary source of chromium because it is a whole grain. Good sources do not include refined grains (such as pasta), fruits, and vegetables.
