Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The clear liquid diet is a short-term diet ideal for clients after surgeries or in acute stages of infection, particularly of the GI tract. The diet does not supply adequate protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, or calories, so it would not be appropriate for a client with malnutrition or reduced protein intake. If the client had a gastrostomy tube placed, it would be anticipated that she would be fed via the tube, and would not be placed on a clear liquid diet.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,3,4

The responsibility for nutritional assessment and support in most health care facilities belongs to the primary care provider, the nurse, and the dietitian. The client should be involved in the nutritional plan of care, but is not responsible for assessment. Food service staff serve trays on the floor, and may assist clients to complete their menu order, but do not assess clients.
