Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. “The medication works by relaxing gastric muscles." Metoclopramide stimulates gastric motility rather than relaxing muscles.

B. "The medication relieves nausea by slowing peristalsis." Metoclopramide actually increases peristalsis to help empty the stomach.

C. "The medication relieves nausea by promoting gastric emptying." Metoclopramide is a prokinetic agent that enhances stomach emptying, which helps reduce nausea.

D. "The medication works by decreasing gastric acid secretions." Metoclopramide does not reduce acid secretion; it improves gastric motility.

A. Grapes and walnut chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. A healthy diet for the bowel should include foods high in bulk-forming fiber. B. Dinner salad topped with hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and fat-free dressing C. Broccoli and cheese soup with potato bread D. Turkey and mashed potatoes with brown gravy

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Grapes and walnut chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. Whole wheat bread and grapes are rich in fiber, which promotes regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.

B. Dinner salad topped with hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and fat-free dressing. This meal lacks sufficient fiber. Cheese and eggs can contribute to constipation.

C. Broccoli and cheese soup with potato bread. While broccoli has fiber, the cheese and potato bread are low in fiber and may contribute to constipation.

D. Turkey and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. This meal is low in fiber, and gravy can be high in fat, which may slow digestion.
