A nurse is educating a postoperative client on essential nutrition for healing. Which statement by the client would indicate a need for information?

"I will restrict my diet to fats and carbohydrates."

"I will drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day."

"I will take the zinc supplement the doctor recommended."

"I will drink a lot of orange juice and drink milk, too."

Noncompliance (DASH diet) related to denial of having the disease.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

This statement by the client would indicate a need for further information about essential nutrition for healing. A balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrients is important for postoperative healing. Restricting the diet to only fats and carbohydrates may not provide all the necessary nutrients for optimal healing. The nurse should provide further education to the client about the importance of a balanced diet that includes protein, vitamins, and minerals in addition to fats and carbohydrates.
