Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because the small bowel lacks storage capacity, feedings delivered beyond the pylorus must be provided by the continuous drip method.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Ideally, approximately 20 of a patient's estimated calorie needs should be provided by pro-teins. For critically ill patients, 50 to 60 of the total daily calories can be in the form of simple carbohydrate, and the remaining calories (20 to 30) should be provided from fat.
