Answer to Question 1

C
The overarching goal of nutrition interventions for patients with cancer or HIV/AIDS is to im-prove quality of life by enjoying eating and feeling strong enough to participate in normal daily activities. Eating several meals a day is a strategy to help achieve this goal, but is not a goal. Pa-tients should try to focus on eating food rather than using supplements, but it is not necessary to avoid supplements completely. Patients may need to modify their usual eating habits to achieve optimal nutritional status and improve their quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

A
Foods that may help stimulate food intake in patients with taste abnormalities include those that are tart or spicy. Salty, sweet, and bland foods do not help overcome taste abnormalities.
