Answer to Question 1

A
Mini-meals can be eaten before food cools since it takes longer for the patient with Parkinson disease to eat. Large meals are overwhelming and may become unappetizing before they can be consumed. Reduced fluid and increased dairy products increase the threat of constipation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Stockings should be removed approximately 20 minutes each shift for skin care.
