Answer to Question 1

B
The patient should remain sitting upright for at least 30 to 60 minutes after the meal. Remaining upright after meals or snack reduces chance of aspiration by allowing food particles remaining in pharynx to clear. Ten to twenty minutes is not enough time, whereas 2 hours is too long.

Answer to Question 2

A
Vegans eat only foods of plant origin; therefore only plant-based protein can be eaten. Ovolactovegetarians avoid meat, fish, and poultry but eat eggs and milk. Lactovegetarians drink milk but avoid eggs and other animal-based foods.
