Answer to Question 1

C
One or 2 days after a myocardial infarction, patients are likely to best tolerate small, frequent meals. A clear liquid diet is only used during the first 24 hours after a myocardial infarction. There is no reason to eat mostly cold foods. Three moderate meals a day would place a greater oxygen demand on the heart than smaller, more frequent meals.

Answer to Question 2

D
Immediately after a myocardial infarction, nutrition therapy is designed to decrease the workload of the heart. Long-term nutrition therapy may focus on decreasing LDL cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Risk of blood clotting is controlled using medications rather than diet.
