A nurse is assisting in the selection of foods for a client who has dysphagia caused by a stroke. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?

A. "I can expect my eyelids to be bruised after this procedure": Bruising of the eyelids is not a common expectation following cataract removal surgery. While mild redness or irritation may occur, significant bruising is not typical.
B. "I will see dark spots in my vision after this procedure": Seeing dark spots in vision after cataract removal surgery is not expected. The purpose of cataract surgery is to improve vision by removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. Dark spots in vision may indicate complications such as retinal detachment, which should be promptly reported to the healthcare provider.
C. "I will receive general anesthesia for this procedure": Cataract removal surgery typically does not require general anesthesia. Instead, it is commonly performed under local anesthesia with sedation. General anesthesia is reserved for more complex or high-risk procedures. Therefore, this statement indicates a misunderstanding of the anesthesia type for cataract surgery.
D. "I know the provider will replace the lens in my eyes during this procedure": This statement indicates an accurate understanding of the cataract removal procedure. During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore vision. This is the primary goal of the surgery, and the statement reflects the client's understanding of the procedure.

A. Wear a bra with wire support: This is not recommended immediately after a modified radical mastectomy, as it can put pressure on the surgical site and cause discomfort or interfere with healing. Instead, the client should wear a soft, supportive bra without underwire to provide comfort and support.
B. Use deodorant under the affected arm: Applying deodorant under the affected arm is generally not recommended immediately after surgery, as the area may be sensitive and the skin may be healing. The client should avoid applying deodorant until the surgical site has healed and they have consulted with their healthcare provider.
C. Begin ball squeezing exercises: While exercises to improve range of motion and strength in the affected arm are important after a mastectomy, initiating them on the first day postoperative may be too early. The client should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare provider regarding when to begin exercises and which exercises are appropriate.
D. Avoid using the affected arm for eating: This is the most appropriate instruction for the client. After a modified radical mastectomy, the affected arm may be temporarily restricted in movement or may be sensitive. To avoid strain or discomfort, the client should avoid using the affected arm for activities such as eating until they receive further guidance from their healthcare provider.
