• A. Developmental crisis
• B. Maturational crisis
• C. Situational crisis
• D. Social Crisis

2. The goal of remotivation therapy is to facilitate:

• A. Insight C. Socialization
• B. Productivity D. Intimacy
• C.

3. A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a low-sodium diet. The client's family has requested to bring in some of the client's favorite foods. Which of the following food items should the nurse tell the family members to omit?

• A. Boiled rice
• B. Flat bread
• C. Broiled fish fillet
• D. Pickled vegetables

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Pickled vegetables.' Pickled vegetables are high in sodium due to the pickling process, making them unsuitable for a low-sodium diet. Boiled rice, flat bread, and broiled fish fillet are generally lower in sodium compared to pickled vegetables and can be included in a low-sodium diet. Therefore, the nurse should advise the family to omit pickled vegetables to adhere to the client's dietary restrictions.
