Answer to Question 1

B
Patients with MODS benefit from enteral feedings to maintain integrity and health of the ga-strointestinal tract. These feedings may be oral or enteral tube feedings, depending on the pa-tient's ability to eat. Parenteral nutrition does not have the same effect in maintaining the gut.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback:
