• B. Strict aseptic technique
• C. Forced oral fluids

4. A nurse is planning care for a client who reports increasing difficulty swallowing food. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to take?

• A. Turn on the client’s television during meals.
• B. Place the client into a semi-reclining position for meals.
• C. Encourage the client to rest prior to mealtimes.
• D. Encourage the client to use a straw when drinking liquids.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is to encourage the client to rest prior to mealtimes. This intervention can help reduce fatigue and improve the ability to swallow. Turning on the client’s television during meals (choice A) may distract the client but does not directly address the swallowing issue. Placing the client into a semi-reclining position for meals (choice B) can help with swallowing difficulties, but resting before meals is more beneficial. Encouraging the client to use a straw when drinking liquids (choice D) is not the priority intervention for swallowing difficulties in this scenario.

5. 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.
