Answer to Question 1

3, Broccoli; 5, Fresh apples
Rationale: Sourdough rolls have more simple carbohydrates than complex carbohydrates, which have soluble and insoluble fibers, so the nurse would not make this suggestion. Peaches do not have large amounts of soluble or insoluble fiber so they are considered simple carbohydrates; therefore the nurse would not make this suggestion. Broccoli contains soluble and insoluble fibers that move slowly through the intestines and cannot be easily digested, so this is a good example of a complex carbohydrate. Yogurt may be plain or have some fruit added, but it is composed of simple carbohydrates which do not have soluble or insoluble fiber; therefore the nurse would not suggest this as a good source of complex carbohydrates. Apples, with skins, have soluble fiber so they are considered a good source of complex carbohydrates.

Answer to Question 2

D
Enzymes work on specific classes of nutrients to change them from one form to a simpler form. A bolus is a ball-shaped mass of chewed food that is swallowed. Chyme is the semiliquid mix-ture of food mass and secretions in the stomach. Gastrin is a hormone secreted by the stomach mucosa.
