Answer to Question 1

D
Clear liquid diets are appropriate for patients who have just undergone surgery. Patients who are unable to chew can be given mechanically altered diets but can still eat foods that do not need to be chewed. Clear liquid diets do not necessarily help with nausea. Patients who have difficulty swallowing often have the most trouble swallowing liquids and so a clear liquid diet could be unsafe.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are frequent problems for clients postkidney transplant, and are usually the result of adverse effects from immunosuppressive therapy. For clients on dialysis, fat catabolism occurs in the absence of adequate nutritional intake and can result wasting and the loss of lean muscle mass.
