Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Some clients develop diarrhea when a hypertonic formula is infused into the small intestine.

Answer to Question 2

D
Optimal recovery from surgery is promoted by progression of the diet from liquids to solid foods as quickly as is reasonable to promote optimal nutrient intake. Most patients do not need to sup-plement their oral diet with enteral tube feedings or parenteral nutrition support. A clear liquid diet should be used for as short a time as possible because it is not necessary to reduce intestinal stress.
