Answer to Question 1

B
The diabetic patient should limit saturated fat to less than 7 of total calories and cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg/day. Type 1 diabetes requires both insulin and dietary restrictions for optimal control. Nonnutritive sweeteners can be eaten as long as the recommended daily intake levels are followed.

D
Preoperative medications help reduce the client's anxiety, the amount of general anaesthesia re-quired, the risk of nausea and vomiting and resultant aspiration, and respiratory secretions.
