Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A lifestyle approach that includes nutrition therapy, physical activity, and behavior modifications is the basis of comprehensive weight management. Pharmacotherapy and surgery may also be used, based on the individual's BMI and comorbidity.

Answer to Question 2

D
Full liquid diets provide more protein and kcals than a clear liquid diet and can even provide an adequate diet if very carefully planned. However, full liquid diets tend to be high in saturated fat (from dairy products) and low in fiber (because whole foods are not eaten). It is not suitable for patients with lactose intolerance unless it is highly modified because it includes considerable amounts of dairy products. It is not well tolerated by patients with dysphagia who often have difficulty swallowing liquids.
