Answer to Question 1

C
The abbreviation PEG is used for a percutaneous endoscopic placement of a gastrostomy.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The diet should be based on a 1500-calorie MyPlate plan, distributed throughout the day. The food choices should be nutrient-dense. The meal of swordfish, broccoli, rice pilaf, and hot tea meets these requirements the best. The other menus are high in empty calories, fats, and sugars.
