Answer to Question 1

B
In an attempt to recognize and control the practice of nursing, nurse practice acts, on a state-by-state basis, have established guidelines to ensure safe practice and to demonstrate accountability to society.

Answer to Question 2

2. I will initially take in only liquids, such as low-sugar juices..

Rationale:
Liquids are initially the only intake allowed after bariatric surgery. Sugary beverages and fruit juices with added sugar should be avoided as these products can promote dumping syndrome.
