Mechanical soft.

Full liquid.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A,D,B,C

A.   Clear liquid. Clear liquids are the first step in advancing the diet after a period of nothing by mouth (NPO). They are easy to digest and help prevent dehydration.
D. Full liquid. Full liquids are the next step after clear liquids and include liquids and foods that are smooth and easily poured or formed into a liquid at room or body temperature. Examples
include milk, yogurt, and cream-based soups.

B.   Pureed. Pureed foods are soft and smooth, requiring minimal chewing. They are often recommended for individuals who have difficulty swallowing or have undergone oral or facial surgery.
C.   Mechanical soft. Mechanical soft foods are semi-solid and easily mashed or broken down with a fork. They are suitable for individuals with difficulty chewing or swallowing but can tolerate more texture than pureed foods.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The consumption of fruit and/or vegetables should total between 4 to 6 servings. The DASH diet actually recommends 4 to 5 servings each of fruits and vegetables per day, not combined. This statement indicates an incomplete understanding.
B. The consumption of dairy-based products should be eliminated from the diet. The DASH diet does not eliminate dairy products; instead, it recommends 2 to 3 servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products daily.
C. The consumption of protein products should come from lean meats, nuts, and dried beans.

This is correct. The DASH diet emphasizes lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, nuts, and legumes, and limits red meat.
D. The consumption of bread products should be gluten-free. The DASH diet does not

specifically recommend gluten-free products unless the individual has a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The focus is on whole grains rather than gluten-free.

Correct Answer is ["539"]

Explanation

6 ounces of apple juice = 177 mL (1 ounce = 29.57 mL)
1 cup of water = 240 mL (1 cup = 240 mL)
1 cup of soup = 240 mL
6 ounces of tea = 177 mL
12 ounces of carbonated beverage = 355 mL

Total intake: 177 + 240 + 240 + 177 + 355 = 1189 mL

Total output:

Voided at 0830 = 250 mL
Vomitus at 1300 = 150 mL
Voided at 1400 = 250 mL

Total output: 250 + 150 + 250 = 650 mL

Fluid balance: Total intake - Total output = 1189 - 650 = 539 mL

Therefore, the client's current fluid balance is 539 mL.
