Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 838 of 2368

A client answers "Never true" to the first Hunger Vital Sign statement and "Sometimes true" to the second. What should the nurse do?

  1. Record the screening as negative because one answer was never true
  2. Repeat the screening again in twelve months
  3. Consider the screening positive and arrange further assessment or a referral
  4. Teach the client how to read food labels and end the screening
Show answer

Correct answer: Consider the screening positive and arrange further assessment or a referral

A response of often true or sometimes true to either statement makes the screening positive. The client then needs more assessment or a social worker or case manager referral.
