Rationale: The correct answer is B: Potassium. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, which means it helps retain potassium while eliminating sodium. This is beneficial for patients with cirrhosis and ascites as they are at risk of low potassium levels.
Choice A, Sodium, is incorrect as Spironolactone does not spare the elimination of sodium but rather helps eliminate it.
Choice C, Phosphate, is incorrect as Spironolactone does not directly affect phosphate levels.
Choice D, Albumin, is incorrect as Spironolactone does not spare the elimination of albumin.

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sliced bananas. Sliced bananas are a healthy and safe snack option for toddlers as they provide essential nutrients and are easy to chew. Bananas are a good source of potassium and fiber.
Choice B, raw celery, may pose a choking hazard for toddlers due to its stringy texture.
Choice C, peanut butter, can also be a choking hazard and may not be suitable for all toddlers due to potential allergies.
Choice D, marshmallows, are high in sugar and low in nutrients, making them an unhealthy choice for toddler snacks.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A malnourished client on bed rest is at the highest risk for developing decubitus ulcers due to a combination of factors such as poor nutritional status and immobility. Malnourished individuals have compromised skin integrity, making them more susceptible to pressure ulcers. Being on bed rest further exacerbates this risk as constant pressure on bony prominences can lead to tissue damage. Although the other choices may also be at risk for developing decubitus ulcers, the malnourished client on bed rest presents the highest risk due to the combination of malnutrition and immobility.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Yogurt contains probiotics which can help reduce gas and odor in colostomy patients.

Choice D is incorrect because carbonated beverages can actually increase gas production and worsen odor in colostomy patients.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A,
Tomato juice.
Tomato juice is high in vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of nonheme iron from foods. Vitamin C helps convert nonheme iron to a form that is easier for the body to absorb. Tea (choice
B) contains tannins that can inhibit iron absorption. Milk (choice
C) contains calcium, which can interfere with iron absorption. Dried beans (choice
D) are a good source of nonheme iron but do not enhance iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron.
