Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The artificial sweeteners have varying intensity of sweetness so, depending on the client's planned use, the client will need to try different products to achieve the desired sweetness of a food or beverage. Artificial sweeteners have few calories and the cost for each is not significantly different; the level of sweetness should be the deciding factor for the client. This is a question that the nurse should be able to answer.

Answer to Question 2

A
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that chemically digests starch in the mouth. Chewing is an exam-ple of mechanical digestion. Peristalsis and segmentation help propel food along the gastrointes-tinal tract and mix food with intestinal secretions.
