A nurse is assisting a patient in making dietary choices that promote healthy bowel elimination. Which menu option should the nurse recommend?

Grapes and walnut chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. A healthy diet for the bowel should include foods high in bulk-forming fiber.

Dinner salad topped with hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and fat-free dressing

Broccoli and cheese soup with potato bread

Turkey and mashed potatoes with brown gravy

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

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.

Explanation

A. Sodium: Measures fluid balance, not protein status.

B. Potassium: Related to muscle function, heart rhythm, and renal function, not protein synthesis.

A. Measure bladder with had of bed raised to 60 degrees. B. Measure bladder with head of bed raised to 90 degrees. C. Measure bladder within 15 minutes after the patient voids D. Measure bladder before the patient voids.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Measure bladder with the head of the bed raised to 60 degrees. The patient should be in the supine position for the most accurate measurement.

B. Measure bladder with the head of the bed raised to 90 degrees. The patient should be in a flat or slightly reclined position for bladder scanning.

C. Measure bladder within 15 minutes after the patient voids. Postvoid residual (PVR) is the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination. It should be measured within 15 minutes of voiding for accuracy.

D. Measure bladder before the patient voids. Measuring before voiding does not assess residual urine, which is the purpose of the test.
