Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Macronutrients are essential chemical elements needed by all life in large quantities for normal function. Dietary fiber is derived from plant sources and consists of indigestible carbohydrates and lignin and digestible macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins), such as cereal brans, sweet potatoes, and legumes, which contribute to overall nutrition. Another category of fiber is functional fiber, which consists of indigestible carbohydrates that have a beneficial physiologic effect on humans. Phytochemicals, minerals, and vitamins are micronutrients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When the residual volume of a tube feeding exceeds 100 mL (or the limit set by the health care provider), the tube feeding is stopped and the residual volume is rechecked within 1 hour. When the residual volume has returned to the limits set by the health care provider, it is restarted. Because the residual amount already exceeds the recommended amount, the feeding should not continue. Infusion rate should not be changed without an order from the health care provider.
