I need an explanation for this Nursing question to help me study.
1.) You are the nurse in a long-term care facility. During a care plan meeting, it is noted that one of the usually healthy residents has developed a urinary tract infection and is taking antibiotics. The patient has experienced anorexia and has lost 4 lb in the past 2 weeks. A nursing diagnosis of Risk for Imbalanced Nutrition, less than body requirements secondary to loss of appetite has been established. What are some interventions that would address this nursing diagnosis?
2.) You are the nurse caring for a 32-year-old man diagnosed with Kaposi sarcoma (KS). The patient’s home medication list consists of medications typically used to treat AIDS. Nowhere in the patient’s chart or during the admission assessment is there any mention of AIDS. One of the patient’s family members asks you what is the likely cause of the KS. How should you respond?
