Answer to Question 1

B
Bolus feedings should only be administered into the stomach because a larger volume is admi-nistered at one time and the duodenum and jejunum cannot hold this larger volume. Enteral feedings are not administered into the esophagus.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Dietary potassium is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Tomatoes have high potassium content. Rice and tortilla and taco shells are a source of carbohydrates. Chicken, beef, and fish are protein-rich foods.
