In patients with HIV/AIDS who suffer from mouth lesions, one of the foods to recommend is:
a. potato chips
b. orange juice
c. peanut butter
d. baked chicken
Well, clearly we've eliminated option A and B:yeah:. Option A is too hard and too salty. Option B is too acidic.
My study group is having a little friendly debate over option C and D.
Two of say C and Two of us say D. Hmmmm.
The rationale for C is that the patient has mouth lesions possibly impaired chewing/swallowing. Peanut butter is soft and it's also room temperature, so it may be better. Chicken may be too course. The rationale for D is that it would be easier to swallow and that Peanut Butter is too sticky. I chose D, then I chose C, then I chose D, now I'm back at C.....
Can someone give me their answer and their rationale and help us solve this?
No! Thank you!! I really appreciate the feedback from everyone AND the fact that you all actually cared about what the answer would be. Thanks, again! :lvan:
