Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Water is an inorganic nutrient that is the major constituent in all body cells; it is considered to be the body's most important nutrient because most body functions require water. In the body, water acts as a solvent; transports nutrients, wastes, and other materials; regulates body temperature; lubricates joints; performs hydrolysis, breaking substances apart; and gives structure and form to the body as a component of all cells.

Answer to Question 2

C
Parenteral nutrition is the infusion of a solution of nutrients directly into the vein to meet the client's daily requirements and can be used when the GI tract is not functioning.
