Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The patient should drink fluid with each meal to increase lower esophageal pressure to push food into the stomach.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The provision of an alternative method of communicating will lessen the frustration of the patient who has trouble speaking understandably. The call bell would be helpful also, but without a way to communicate, the bell is not as essential as a method of communication.
