Answer to Question 1

Esophageal surgery may take a long time to heal, but at the absolute minimum, it would be two weeks before anything should be eaten. The usual progression from clear liquids to full liquids could be used here. Depending on her tolerance, she may stay at full liquids longer than usual. Nutritional supplements could and should be used at this time. After full liquids, a very soft diet would be in order.

Answer to Question 2

If CJ does not breath deep enough, he will not expand his alveoli, resulting in their collapse. This decreases the exchange of CO2 for O2 and causes his arterial CO2 to increase and O2 to decrease, thus worsening his condition. The collapsed alveoli can also trap bacteria in the lungs.
