Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The client with mild dysphagia might do best on a pureed diet because it has some substance to it, allowing the client to swallow it more easily than a regular diet while not being as thin and difficult to swallow as a clear or full-liquid diet.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Although this client has a form of malnutrition, or undernutrition, it is best described as protein-calorie malnutrition, which can result in longer hospital stays and increased complications. This client does not have overnutrition.
