Answer to Question 1

D
Diet therapy for patients with dysphagia centers around providing food and beverages in a form that can be swallowed without entering the lungs (i.e., preventing aspiration). Aspiration of food may lead to pneumonia, but not usually sepsis. Patients with dysphagia have difficulty swallow-ing, but not usually with reflux or vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Garlic contains anticoagulation properties and can potentiate the effects of warfarin. Guarana is used to promote weight loss. Gotu Kola is used as an anti-anxiety treatment. Glucosamine is used for cartilage repair.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
