Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A The patient should begin oral intake with clear liquids. Chicken noodle soup is not a clear liquid.
B The patient who has had throat surgery should first be offered clear liquids. Broth, bouillon, carbonated beverages, clear fruit juice, and popsicles are considered clear fluids. For inpatients, the physician will order a therapeutic diet.
C The patient should begin oral intake with clear liquids. Oatmeal is not a clear liquid.
D The patient should begin oral intake with clear liquids. Coffee with milk is not considered a clear liquid.

Answer to Question 2

B
Carbon monoxide has a higher affinity for hemoglobin; therefore, oxygen is not able to bond to hemoglobin and be transported to tissues. A carbon monoxide detector is not required by law, does not signal the cerebral cortex to cease ventilations, and does not combine with oxygen but with hemoglobin to produce a toxin.
