Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: B,C,D,E
Rationale: Low red meat, high fruit/vegetable intake, and healthy weight reduce colorectal cancer risk. Inflammatory bowel disease and family history increase risk, necessitating earlier screenings. Risk rises after age 50, but health status matters, making the first statement inaccurate.
Question 2 of 5
For a 6 year-old child hospitalized with moderate edema and mild hypertension associated with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN), which one of the following nursing interventions would be appropriate?
