Answer to Question 1

B
Immediately after a renal transplant, energy needs are higher than normal because of the stress from surgery and catabolism. They do not generally fluctuate from day to day and do not depend on nutritional status before surgery.

Answer to Question 2

B
Peritoneal dialysis may cause difficulty with metabolic control for patients with diabetes mellitus because glucose is absorbed from the dialysate. Loss of insulin into the dialysate is not a problem. Combined food restrictions are somewhat complex, but do not make control of blood glucose levels more difficult. All patients with renal disease experience taste changes and food aversions, but these do not necessarily affect control of diabetes.
