Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
The weight gain of 2.2 lb (1 kg) is significant and would signify fluid retention. Fluid restrictions would be expected. Frequent oral hygiene is a comfort measure to combat dry mucous membranes caused by fluid restriction. Fresh fruits and vegetables are high in water content and should be avoided. Hard candy would stimulate the production of saliva. Water should not be kept at the beside of a patient with fluid restrictions. The patient's position should be changed frequently to prevent skin breakdown.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Fats, which can come from either plant sources or animal sources, yield 9 cal/g.
