Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Oligomeric formulas are easily absorbed into the body, requiring little digestion, and are most appropriate for clients with digestive disorders.
Rationale 2: Modular formulas contain a protein, carbohydrate, or lipid. Another formula is more appropriate for clients with digestive disorders.
Rationale 3: Specialized formulas are designed for clients with renal failure, hepatic failure, pulmonary conditions, or enzyme deficiencies.
Rationale 4: Polymeric formulas require a fully functioning GI tract.
Global Rationale: Oligomeric formulas are easily absorbed into the body, requiring little digestion, and are most appropriate for clients with digestive disorders. Polymeric formulas require a fully functioning GI tract. Modular and specialized formulas may or may not be appropriate for those with digestive disorder, depending upon the formulation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 400
Rationale: Bolus feedings typically deliver 250 to 400 mL of formula every 4 to 6 hours via a syringe or funnel. This method takes about 15 minutes to complete and may not be well tolerated due to the large volume of solution introduced in such a short period.
