Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The client who has had throat surgery should first be offered clear liquids. If the client tolerates clear liquids, then he or she may be advanced to a full liquid diet, and then to a mechanical soft diet. Because the client had throat surgery, excoriating liquids such as citrus juices should be avoided. Also, to be able to assess for bleeding, red or dark liquids should be avoided (e.g., apple juice or ginger ale is recommended rather than grape or cranberry juice). The client should begin oral intake with clear liquids. Neither chicken noodle soup nor oatmeal is included on a clear liq-uid diet. Hot tea with lemon would not be recommended. Liquids should not be hot or contain citrus, which could cause pain or excoriation and possible bleeding at the surgical site.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
HIV-infected clients typically experience body wasting and severe weight loss. Restorative care for these clients focuses upon maximizing kilocalories and nutrients. Low-fat diets and small, frequent, nutrient-dense meals may be better tolerated. There is no need to restrict potassium, phosphate, and sodium in the client with HIV infection. The client with HIV infection does not need to reduce carbohydrate or protein or increase folic acid intake.
