Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3

Rationale: To enhance healing, clients should eat foods that are good sources of vitamins A and C and zinc. Green and orange vegetables contain vitamin A. Oranges and spinach contain vitamin C. Protein-rich foods contain zinc. Clients wishing to enhance their ability to heal should increase their intake of protein- and nutrient-dense foods. Popsicles and soda contribute to early satiety and poor intake of nutrient-dense foods. Popsicles and sodas should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A mechanically altered diet is a regular diet modified in texture for clients who have limited chewing ability.
