Answer to Question 1

A
Patients with HIV/AIDS can help maximize their food intake if they eat several small meals and snacks daily. Drinking water with meals will tend to fill the stomach so that the patient will ac-tually consume less food and nutrients. Not eating unless really hungry will also decrease food intake, especially if the patient's appetite is poor. Taking a daily multivitamin and mineral sup-plement will not help increase food intake and will not increase energy and protein intake.

Answer to Question 2

C
CDC has defined wasting syndrome as involuntary loss of >10 of body weight in 1 month with chronic diarrhea, weakness, or fever. Voluntary weight loss is caused by dieting, not wasting syndrome.
