Question 3 of 5
The pathological process causing esophageal varices is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Portal hypertension causes esophageal varices, per the document. It occurs when the liver, often scarred from cirrhosis, resists portal vein flow, forcing blood into lower-pressure vessels like esophageal veins, forming varices. Ascites and edema are symptoms, not causes. Systemic hypertension affects arterial pressure, not portal veins. Dilated veins describe varices, not the process. Portal hypertension is the root mechanism, driving backflow and vessel dilation, making it the correct pathological process.
Question 4 of 5
After a myocardial infarction, a client is placed on a sodium restricted diet. When the nurse is teaching the client about the diet, which meal plan would be the most appropriate to suggest?

Rationale: The sodium-restricted meal is 3 oz. turkey, fresh sweet potato, fresh green beans, milk, and an orange , per the document, avoiding high-sodium canned foods (A, B) and cured meats . Canned beets , salmon , and bologna elevate sodium, risking fluid retention post-MI. D uses fresh, low-sodium options, supporting heart health, making it most appropriate.
Question 5 of 5
After a myocardial infarction, a client is placed on a sodium restricted diet. When the nurse is teaching the client about the diet, which meal plan would be the most appropriate to suggest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 3 oz. turkey, fresh sweet potato, fresh green beans, milk, and an orange is most appropriate for sodium restriction post-MI. Canned beets (A, ~300 mg), salmon (B, ~500 mg), and bologna (C, ~1000 mg) exceed limits (<2000 mg/day), risking fluid overload. Fresh turkey (~70 mg), sweet potato (~40 mg), and green beans (~5 mg) keep sodium low, supporting heart recovery. D avoids processed foods, aligning with dietary goals, making it the best plan.
