Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The client diagnosed with a peptic ulcer may be allowed to add green vegetables to his diet. The client with a peptic ulcer should avoid foods that increase stomach acidity, such as caffeine, de-caffeinated coffee, frequent milk intake, citric acid juices, and certain seasonings (hot chili pep-pers, chili powder, black pepper). Smoking, alcohol, and aspirin are also discouraged.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Clients who practice Islam or Judaism share an avoidance of pork in their diet. Clients who prac-tice Islam avoid alcohol and caffeine but will eat shellfish. Clients who practice Judaism do not restrict alcohol or caffeine intake and only eat fish with scales. Seventh-Day Adventists also avoid shellfish. Mormons also avoid caffeine.
