Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: The client with impaired swallowing is the most likely nursing diagnosis associated with undernutrition. People who are unable to ingest or receive enough food or nutrients develop undernutrition. Fluid volume excess is not the best answer. This suggests that the client is overhydrated and may be receiving too many fluids. Altered urinary elimination does not usually impact the development of undernutrition. Anticipatory grieving is a possible answer related to depression and decreased food intake. However, among the nursing diagnoses to choose from, the most appropriate diagnosis is impaired swallowing.

Answer to Question 2

C
The food choice that contains the least sodium is corn on the cob. This is the least processed of all these forms of corn. Food processing usually involves addition of sodium.
