Answer to Question 1

D
Some mind-body therapies include meditation, relaxation, guided imagery, and cognitive beha-vioral counseling. The other actions are appropriate but not related to mind-body therapies.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nutritional supplements for a patient with an eating disorder or dysfunction can decrease the pa-tient's susceptibility to infection by providing protein. The patient still may not be able to chew a mechanically soft diet. Oral care will help but will not decrease the problem. The patient needs protein, and it is best made available as a drink because of the chewing problems.
