Answer to Question 1

Once the diet progresses to solid foods, patients consume between three and six small meals per day.
Only small portions of food can be consumed at each meal because overeating may stretch the gastric region or result in vomiting or regurgitation. Similarly, fluids must be consumed separately from meals to avoid excessive distention. Patients are generally instructed to consume liquid protein supplements regularly and to eat high-protein foods before consuming other foods in a meal. Daily multivitamin/mineral supplements help to prevent nutrient deficiencies.

Answer to Question 2

True
