Feedback:
There are several things this individual can do to increase their intake: withholding liquids before and after meals; provide small, frequent meals; offer liquid supplements between meals; and serve food attractively and seasoned according to the individual's taste.

Answer to Question 2

A
Infection and inflammation of pouchlike protrusions in the colon is known as diverticulitis. If the protrusions are not inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulosis. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disorder in the small and/or large intestine. Inflammatory bowel disease includes Crohn's disease and chronic ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory disorder in the large intestine only.
