Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Fibers in whole grains, dried peas and beans, and bran increase stool weight to help prevent constipation. Puffed rice is made from white (refined) rice which is low in fiber. The fiber in fruits is in the skin, and we do not eat the skin of an orange. Lettuce is not a high-fiber food.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The first assessment measure the nurse will obtain is the client's weight. The nurse can then explore reasons for wanting to lose weight and determine realistic expectations. The role of good nutrition will be part of the teaching implemented by the nurse.
