Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Diuretics result in moderate to severe increases in the production of dilute urine. Concentration will decrease, not increase, and there is no accompanying risk of urinary tract infections. For some clients, this sudden increase in urine output may precipitate transient incontinence, but this remains an abnormal finding.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Pureed diets are indicated for clients who have significant problems chewing and/or swallowing. Surgery and confusion are not indications for this change in the texture and consistency of food.
