Ancient has developed dysphagia secondary to a cerebrovascular accident. The doctor has ordered pureed diet with nectar thick liquids. Which of the following would be appropriate for this client?

Mashed potatoes with gravy

Corn on the cob

Hamburger with no bun

Spinach salad with low-fat dressing

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A pureed diet is a type of texture-modified diet where food is blended to a smooth consistency to make it easier to swallow. Nectar-thick liquids are liquids that have a slightly thicker consistency than water, which makes them easier for the client to swallow without choking or aspirating.

Options B, C, and D are not appropriate for a client with dysphagia on a pureed diet with nectar-thick liquids. Corn on the cob is a hard, crunchy food that is difficult to puree, while a hamburger and a salad are both difficult to make into a smooth consistency. These foods could pose a choking or aspiration risk for the client.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The correct answer is choice A, "Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids." These three nutrients are macronutrients and supply the body with energy when consumed. Carbohydrates provide 4 kilocalories (kcal) per gram, proteins provide 4 kcal per gram, and lipids (fats) provide 9 kcal per gram. Vitamins, minerals, and water are essential for overall health and body function, but they do not supply energy to the same extent as macronutrients.

A. 1 B. 4 C. 15 D. 10

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) pump is programmed to deliver a dose of 0.5 mg of morphine every 15 minutes as needed. This setup means that only 1 dose can be administered every 15 minutes, regardless of how many times the patient presses the button.

Since 60 minutes have passed, the maximum number of doses the patient could receive is calculated as follows:

60 minutes/ 15 minutes per dose= 4 doses

Even though the patient pressed the button 10 times, the pump will only deliver a dose every 15 minutes, resulting in 4 doses.
