Answer to Question 1

C
One or 2 days after a myocardial infarction, patients are likely to best tolerate small, frequent meals. A clear liquid diet is only used during the first 24 hours after a myocardial infarction. There is no reason to eat mostly cold foods. Three moderate meals a day would place a greater oxygen demand on the heart than smaller, more frequent meals.

Answer to Question 2

D
Immediately after a myocardial infarction, nutrition therapy is designed to decrease the workload of the heart. Long-term nutrition therapy may focus on decreasing LDL cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Risk of blood clotting is controlled using medications rather than diet.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
