Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Full-liquid diets consist of foods that are or may become liquid at room or body temperature. Full-liquid diets include juices with and without pulp, milk and milk products, yogurt, strained cream soups, and liquid dietary supplements. Oatmeal is not considered part of a full-liquid diet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In conditions such as pernicious anemia, a characteristic finding is a sore, smooth-surfaced, beefy-red tongue, which may interfere with the person's ability to chew certain foods. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are eating disorders. In malnutrition the oral mucosa may be a darker red than normal with oral lesions and/or the tongue may reveal white irregular areas.
