Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A diet consisting of meat, milk, and chopped parsley is most likely to meet the nutritional needs of this client, because it is high in proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins. The diet must be high in protein and carbohydrates because cancer and its therapy can deplete protein from the body and alter the nutritional status. Diets consisting of lettuce, cereal, and orange juice; brussels sprouts, bread, and pasta; or chopped celery, rice, and apple are low in protein and, hence, not recommended for this client.
