The nurse is caring for a client who received a new diet prescription from the physician for nothing by mouth (NPO) except ice chips.
Which actions would the nurse take to alleviate the effects of dehydration? Select all that apply

Choice A rationale
While intestinal obstruction can occur after any abdominal surgery, it is not the most common complication following ileostomy creation.
Choice B rationale
Fluid and electrolyte imbalance is a common complication following ileostomy surgery. This is due to the fact that the ileum, which is now rerouted to an external opening in the abdominal wall, is responsible for absorbing a significant amount of fluid and electrolytes. When it is diverted, these substances can be lost, leading to imbalances.
Choice C rationale
Malabsorption of fat is not typically a primary concern following ileostomy surgery. While malabsorption can occur in diseases affecting the ileum, it is not a direct result of the surgery itself.
Choice D rationale
Folate deficiency is not a common complication following ileostomy surgery. The terminal ileum, which is typically used to create the ileostomy, is primarily responsible for the absorption of vitamin B12, not folate.

Choice A rationale
A high fiber diet is not typically recommended for a client diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. High fiber foods can potentially exacerbate diarrhea and other symptoms.
Choice B rationale
While a low fat diet can be beneficial in many health conditions, it is not specifically recommended for a client diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis.
Choice C rationale
A low fiber diet is typically recommended for a client diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. Low fiber foods are easier to digest and can help alleviate symptoms such as diarrhea.
Choice D rationale
A high carbohydrate diet is not typically recommended for a client diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. High carbohydrate foods can potentially exacerbate diarrhea and other symptoms.
