Heterotrophs contrast with autotrophs, such as plants and algae, which can use energy from sunlight(photoautotrophs) or inorganic compounds (lithoautotrophs) to produce organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxide. These reduced carbon compounds can be used as an energy source by the autotroph and provide the energy in food consumed by heterotrophs. Ninety-five percent or more of all types of living organisms are heterotrophic, including all animals and fungi and most bacteria and protists.[4]

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the most appropriate statement by the nurse would be "This is the reason you are using a special swallowing technique when you eat and drink."
