Chapter 1 Nursing and Nutrition Care
1.1 To understand nutrition as an aspect of total health care.
1) The nurse instructs an adult client about nutritional needs. Which client statement indicates
that teaching has been effective?
1. "A good diet is hard work."
2. "The nutrients I need come from foods."
3. "There are some insignificant nutrients that I don't really need."
4. "If I don't take a multi-vitamin supplement, I will be unable to meet all nutrition needs."
Answer: 2
Explanation: The nurse needs to understand the role of macro- and micronutrients in
maintaining health and preventing disease. A client who understands that nutrients come from
foods has beginning knowledge of nutrition. There are no insignificant nutrients, nor is a vitamin
supplement required for good health. A good diet should not be hard work; it can be
implemented with careful planning.

2) A client believes that a good diet is the key to a long life. Which response should the nurse
make to this client?
1. "It is one aspect of healthy living."
2. "You are well on your way to a long life."
3. "A good diet is most important early in life."
4. "Good genes are a better predictor of long life."
Answer: 1
Explanation: Good nutrition promotes health and may prevent the onset of conditions like
cardiovascular disease, some forms of diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Other aspects may include
safety, interpersonal relations, coping mechanisms, etc. Good genes may play a role; however, a
client cannot ignore the role of nutrition in promoting a healthy life. A good diet is important
throughout the lifespan, and it is never too late to make changes. The nurse ignores teaching
opportunities when dismissing a client by suggesting that a long life is likely because of eating a
good diet.
