A nurse is assisting a patient in making dietary choices that promote healthy bowel elimination. Which menu option should the nurse recommend?

Grapes and walnut chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. A healthy diet for the bowel should include foods high in bulk-forming fiber.

Dinner salad topped with hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and fat-free dressing

Broccoli and cheese soup with potato bread

Turkey and mashed potatoes with brown gravy

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Grapes and walnut chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. Whole wheat bread and grapes are rich in fiber, which promotes regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.

B. Dinner salad topped with hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and fat-free dressing. This meal lacks sufficient fiber. Cheese and eggs can contribute to constipation.

C. Broccoli and cheese soup with potato bread. While broccoli has fiber, the cheese and potato bread are low in fiber and may contribute to constipation.

D. Turkey and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. This meal is low in fiber, and gravy can be high in fat, which may slow digestion.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D"]

Explanation

A. "You should limit fluids in the evening." Helps reduce nighttime urinary urgency.

B. "Your provider might prescribe anticholinergic medications." Anticholinergics like oxybutynin reduce bladder contractions, decreasing urgency.

C. "You might require an anterior vaginal repair." More commonly done for stress incontinence, not urge incontinence.

D. "You should restrict your intake of caffeine." Caffeine is a bladder irritant and increases urinary urgency.

E. "You might require intermittent urinary catheterization." Not necessary unless the client has urinary retention, which is not typical for urge incontinence.

A. Sigmoid B. Transverse C. Ascending D. Descending

Correct Answer is C
