Answer to Question 1

A
For patients with gastroparesis, six small meals daily are better tolerated than three regular meals daily. Patients with gastroparesis do not have increased needs for protein and fluid.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus who are sick and unable to eat regular food should con-sume liquid, semiliquid, or soft sources of carbohydrates to maintain their blood glucose level. Parenteral nutrition support is not usually necessary, unless the patient has severe vomiting. Commercial liquid nutrition supplements are not needed. Noncaloric fluids would prevent dehy-dration but would not provide carbohydrate to maintain their blood glucose level.

Answer to Question 3

B
Serious injury increases insulin requirements because of increased hepatic glucose production caused by the release of epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, and cortisol.
