A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has cancer about foods that prevent protein-energy malnutrition. Which of the following foods should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select one that doesn't apply).
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D - Strawberries and bananas. Cottage cheese, milkshakes, and tuna fish are high in protein and calories, making them beneficial in preventing protein-energy malnutrition.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has COPD. Which of the following instructions by the nurse is appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to increase protein intake.
