Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Oral fluids are contraindicated and should not be used in patients with intestinal obstruction or bowel perforation (opening). IV fluids with replacement electrolytes are required.

The use of high-bulk food such as bran and a laxative may allow patients to stay on an antihyperlipidemic drug plan.
