A nurse is teaching a client who has cholecystitis about required dietary modifications. The nurse should include which of the following foods as appropriate for the client's diet?

Choice A reason: Epigastric pain during swallowing can occur in esophageal cancer but is not the most common or specific symptom. It could be related to other conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcers.
Choice B reason: Regurgitation can be a symptom but is more commonly associated with GERD or other less serious esophageal conditions rather than being a primary indication of esophageal cancer.
Choice C reason: Progressive dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing that worsens over time, is the most common and specific symptom of esophageal cancer. It occurs as the tumor grows and gradually obstructs the esophagus, making swallowing increasingly difficult.
Choice D reason: Weight loss can occur in esophageal cancer but is not as specific as progressive dysphagia. It may be a secondary symptom resulting from difficulty swallowing and reduced food intake.

Choice A reason: Securing the drain to the client's bed sheet is not appropriate as it does not ensure proper positioning and can lead to accidental dislodgement.
Choice B reason: Measuring the drainage every hour for the first 8 hours is excessive unless there are specific clinical concerns. Typically, drainage is measured at regular intervals but not every hour unless warranted by the client's condition.
Choice C reason: Removing the JP drain should be done according to medical orders, and not by the nurse independently deciding when to remove it. The JP drain is typically removed when the output decreases to a minimal level.
Choice D reason: Expelling the air from the JP bulb after emptying is crucial to re-establish the suction, which is necessary for the drain to function effectively. This action helps to ensure continuous drainage and prevent fluid accumulation.
