a. continue feeding until the tray is empty
b. stop feeding, remove tray, and inform supervisory staff or nurse
c. switch to a spoon-feed of liquids only
d. ask the patient to finish fast

a. leave the tray and walk away
b. give the patient dessert without checking anything
c. make sure the patient is comfortable, wipe their mouth and hands, reposition safely, and document intake
d. immediately take the tray and report no intake

Explanation:

For question 5, when a patient is fatigued or unable to continue eating, forcing them (options A and D) is inappropriate. Switching to only liquid spoon - feed (option C) may not address the fatigue issue properly. Stopping feeding, removing the tray, and informing the supervisor (option B) is the correct nursing practice as it ensures patient comfort and proper communication within the care team.
For question 6, leaving the tray and walking away (option A) or reporting no intake without proper check (option D) is unprofessional. Giving dessert without checking (option B) ignores post - feeding care. Making the patient comfortable, cleaning, repositioning, and documenting (option C) covers all aspects of proper end - of - feeding care.

Answer:

1. B. Stop feeding, remove tray, and inform supervisory staff or nurse
2. C. Make sure the patient is comfortable, wipe their mouth and hands, reposition safely, and document intake
