Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
There are various strategies that can be used to promote maximum intake: encouraging small frequent meals; soft diet; drinking high-protein, high-calorie nutrition formulas; and using bronchodilators before eating are just a few.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients should not use Echinacea if they are taking immunosuppressant drugs because Echinacea may decrease the immunosuppressant effect. Echinacea is not known to interfere with anti-coagulant effects, hormone treatments, or oral hypoglycemic agents.
