Coffee with cream and sugar
Gelatin with applesauce
White grape juice
Bouillon that is reconstituted
Tea with sugar
Fruit flavored ice pop
Correct Answer : A,B
Choice A: Cream is not allowed on a clear liquid diet because it contains fat and protein, which make it opaque.
Choice B: While plain gelatin is allowed, applesauce is not because it is a puréed/semi-solid food, not a clear liquid.
Choice C: Clear fruit juices without pulp (such as apple juice, cranberry juice, and white grape juice) are permitted.
Choice D: Broth or bouillon is considered a clear liquid, as long as it does not contain solid particles.
Choice E: Tea is a clear liquid, and sugar does not change its clarity.
Choice F: Ice pops made from clear liquids (such as fruit juice without pulp) are permitted.

A rectal temperature should not be taken if the client has bradycardia because stimulation of the vagus nerve during the insertion of the rectal thermometer can result in a further decrease in heart rate. Hypertension, tachypnea, and pyrexia are not contraindications for taking a rectal temperature.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
This is because the client has right-sided paralysis and will not be able to bear weight on their right leg. By standing on their left leg and pivoting to the chair, the client can safely transfer from the bed to the wheelchair with the assistance of the nurse.
