Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Foods high in fiber include raw fruits, bran products, and whole grain products. Low-fiber foods would include cooked fruits, cooked vegetables, and white bread.

Answer to Question 2

Fluids must be increased when clients use psyllium mucilloid (Metamucil). Psyllium mucilloid (Metamucil) takes several days to work, may help to reduce cholesterol levels, and is more natural than other laxatives.
