Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

He will be given nothing by mouth (NPO) for several hours until his condition is stable. If nausea remains after the period of shock, IV infusions are given to prevent dehydration. A liquid diet will be recommended for the first 24 hours, followed by a low-cholesterol, low-sodium plan.
