<span>A is the correct answer. Body composition is the percentage of fat compared to the percentage of bone, muscle and water in a person's body. Medical problems can influence a person's diet and exercise habits and their metabolism, and they can cause unhealthy body compositions, for example, thyroid problems. However, medical problems rarely improve one's body composition.</span>

The nurse provides teaching to a client who will begin to receive tube feedings after a total laryngectomy. The nurse concludes
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

I will need tube feedings until healing of the incision is complete.

Explanation:

In this case, it is better to avoid food until the area is completely healed and this will stop any form of contamination or irritation. Because the structure was altered, the gag reflex is absent. The ability of the patient to belch does not impact the decision to resume feeding through the mouth. It is important to note that while such client can still tolerate feeding via the mouth, it is only withheld for a period to ensure that the surgical site is not irritated until it has completely healed.
