  2. Telling the client to eat as many fried foods as possible
  3. Allowing the client to celebrate her birthday with a glass of wine
  4. Allowing the client’s visitor to bring the client her favorite “spicy chicken wings”
Explanation

Bland foods do not include caffeinated beverages, alcohol, spicy foods, or fried foods.
