a) Assess manifestations of malnutrition: While assessing for malnutrition is important, it is not a direct intervention to stimulate appetite.

b) Recommend dietary supplements: While dietary supplements can help improve nutritional intake, they are not an immediate intervention to stimulate appetite.

c) Encourage or provide oral care: Oral care, including brushing teeth and providing mouthwash, can help remove unpleasant tastes and promote a more comfortable eating experience, which may stimulate appetite.

d) Administer prescribed medications: While medications may be prescribed for appetite stimulation (e.g., megestrol), the nurse can implement independent interventions like oral care before resorting to pharmacological solutions.

a) Tell the client to wash the urethra before voiding: While it is important for patients to maintain hygiene, instructing them to wash the urethra is not a necessary step for APs collecting urine output. It is important for the AP to focus on measuring output.

b) Wear gloves when handling a client's urine: The AP should always wear gloves when handling bodily fluids, including urine, to prevent contamination and the spread of infection.

c) Use a clean measuring cup for each voiding: Using a clean measuring cup is important for accurate measurements, but the focus here should be on wearing gloves and correctly measuring the urine.

d) Compare the amount of output with intake: Comparing output with intake is the responsibility of the nurse, not the AP. The AP should focus on collecting and accurately measuring the urine output.
