Answer to Question 1

D
The BRAT diet has little nutritional value. Ginger ale is low in electrolytes and high in glucose. Broth has a high sodium content, which is contraindicated with diarrhea. Oral rehydration therapy provides the child with electrolytes and fluid, helping to restore balance.

B
