Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Refeeding can precipitate malabsorption and diarrhea. The diarrhea occurs after each meal, not with foods that may cause an allergy or only with carbohydrates. Cardiovascular overload is not related to the development of diarrhea after eating.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
A peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) line may be used for short-term TPN. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) should be administered through a central vein. Enteral nutrition is delivered directly into the gastrointestinal system. A hypertonic solution with vitamins and minerals is not the usual intravenous fluid mixture for fluid support.
