Answer to Question 1

A
A bolus is a ball of masticated food mixed with saliva and ready to be swallowed. Emulsified fat and mucus do not form a ball. Indigestible fiber and waste products are known as feces.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Each artificial sweetener has a different intensity of sweetness. If a client uses artificial sweeteners, it is important to experiment with each one to achieve the desired level of sweetness. The nurse should never suggest that a client does not have options, even with artificial sweeteners. The chemical contribution does not contribute to the unnatural taste; it is the amount of the sweetener that is used. It is unwise to suggest use of natural sugar when the client is asking about artificial sweeteners.
