Answer to Question 1

A
A bolus is a ball of masticated food mixed with saliva and ready to be swallowed. Emulsified fat and mucus do not form a ball. Indigestible fiber and waste products are known as feces.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Each artificial sweetener has a different intensity of sweetness. If a client uses artificial sweeteners, it is important to experiment with each one to achieve the desired level of sweetness. The nurse should never suggest that a client does not have options, even with artificial sweeteners. The chemical contribution does not contribute to the unnatural taste; it is the amount of the sweetener that is used. It is unwise to suggest use of natural sugar when the client is asking about artificial sweeteners.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
