A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has a new prescription for phenelzine.

Which of the following food recommendations should the nurse make? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A rationale:

Preschoolers with celiac disease need to avoid gluten-containing grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. Corn tortilla with black beans is a suitable option as it does not contain gluten and provides essential nutrients.

Choice B rationale:

Whole wheat pasta contains gluten, which should be avoided by individuals with celiac disease. This option is inappropriate for the preschooler with celiac disease.

Choice C rationale:

Low sodium vegetable soup with barley contains gluten, which is not suitable for a child with celiac disease. Barley is a gluten-containing grain and should be avoided.

Choice D rationale:

Rye bread contains gluten and is not appropriate for a preschooler with celiac disease. This option is not suitable for the child's dietary needs.

- A. Correct. The nurse should turn off the CPM machine during mealtime, as it can interfere with the client's ability to eat and drink comfortably. The nurse should also turn off the CPM machine when transferring or repositioning the client, or when performing wound care or other interventions on the affected leg.

- B. Incorrect. The nurse should maintain the client's affected hip in a neutral position, as external rotation can cause malalignment of the prosthesis and impair healing. The nurse should use pillows or wedges to support the leg and prevent rotation or abduction of the hip joint.

- C. Incorrect. The nurse should not instruct the client how to adjust the CPM settings, as this can compromise the prescribed range of motion and speed of the device. The nurse should follow the provider's orders and check with them before making any changes to the CPM settings. The nurse should also monitor the client's pain level and administer analgesics as needed to facilitate compliance with the therapy.

- D. Incorrect. The nurse should not store the CPM machine under the client's bed when not in use, as this can pose a safety hazard and damage the equipment. The nurse should place the CPM machine on a stable surface near the bed and ensure that it is plugged into a grounded outlet and has adequate battery backup in case of power failure.
