Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Dietary supplements are not evaluated by the FDA prior to being offered for sale to the public. All dietary supplements are placed under a special umbrella of food by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act and are required to be labeled as dietary supplements. Product marketers cannot claim to cure, treat, or prevent a disease or condition.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
To be efficacious in reducing the risk of infectious complications, EN should be initiated as soon as fluid resuscitation is complete and the client is hemodynamically stable, preferably within the first 24 to 48 hours.
