A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about increasing her intake of fiber. Which of the following foods should the nurse encourage the client to eat?

Choice A reason: BUN or blood urea nitrogen 30 mg/dL is above the normal range of 10 to 20 mg/dL and indicates renal impairment or dehydration, which can be caused by contrast dye used during coronary angiography or blood loss during or after the procedure. The nurse should report this value to the provider and monitor the client for signs of acute kidney injury, such as oliguria, edema, or electrolyte imbalances.

Choice B reason: Sinus rhythm 95/min on a cardiac monitor is within the normal range of 60 to 100/min and does not indicate any cardiac arrhythmia or ischemia.

Choice C reason: Respiratory rate 12/min is within the normal range of 12 to 20/min and does not indicate any respiratory distress or hypoxia.

Choice D reason: PTT or partial thromboplastin time 25 seconds is within the normal range of 25 to 35 seconds and does not indicate any bleeding disorder or anticoagulant therapy.

Choice A reason: Restricting the client's calorie intake to no more than 2,000 calories per day is not an appropriate action, as it can impair wound healing and increase the risk of infection or malnutrition. The nurse should provide adequate calories and protein to meet the increased metabolic demands and support tissue repair and regeneration.

Choice B reason: Changing sterile gloves between caring for wounds on different areas of the body is an appropriate action, as it can prevent cross-contamination and infection of the burn wounds, which are susceptible to bacterial colonization and sepsis.

Choice C reason: Limiting movement or bending of the client's affected extremities is not an appropriate action, as it can cause contractures, joint stiffness, or muscle atrophy in the burned areas. The nurse should encourage early and frequent range of motion exercises and use splints or positioning devices to maintain functional alignment and mobility.

Choice D reason: Administering a diuretic if the client's urine output falls below 30 mL/hr is not an appropriate action, as it can worsen dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or renal failure that can occur after severe burns. The nurse should monitor fluid status and urine output closely and administer intravenous fluids as prescribed to maintain adequate hydration and perfusion.
