A nurse is providing teaching about increasing dietary fiber to an antepartum client who reports constipation. Which of the following food selections has the highest fiber content per cup?

A. Peripheral edema 2+ bilateral lower extremities - Peripheral edema is common postpartum and does not typically require immediate follow-up unless it is associated with other concerning signs or symptoms.
B. Blood pressure 136/6 mm Hg - The blood pressure provided appears to be incorrect, as the diastolic pressure is unusually low. However, given the options provided, blood pressure is not explicitly mentioned in the scenario as a critical factor requiring immediate follow-up.
C. Lateral deviation of the uterus - Lateral deviation of the uterus suggests uterine atony, a potential complication of postpartum hemorrhage, requiring immediate follow-up and intervention to prevent further complications.
D. Pain rating of 3 on a scale of 0 to 10 - While increased pain should be addressed, it does not necessarily indicate an emergency situation requiring immediate follow-up compared to other findings such as uterine deviation or excessive bleeding.
E. Deep tendon reflexes 1+ - This finding is within normal limits and does not require immediate follow-up.
F. Breasts soft - Soft breasts are expected in the postpartum period and do not typically require immediate follow-up unless associated with other concerning signs or symptoms.

G. Large amount of lochia rubra - A large amount of bright red lochia could indicate postpartum hemorrhage, necessitating immediate follow-up and intervention to prevent further complications.
H. Uterine tone soft - Soft uterine tone suggests uterine atony, which is a potential complication requiring immediate follow-up and intervention to prevent excessive bleeding.

Rationale:

A. Provide the newborn with 15 ml glucose water after each feeding: This action is not directly related to phototherapy for jaundice treatment.

B. Turn the newborn every 4 hours: While turning the newborn is important for preventing pressure ulcers, it is not specifically related to phototherapy.

C. Close the newborn's eyes before applying eyepatches:

Correct answer. It is important to protect the newborn's eyes from phototherapy light by using eye patches or covering their eyes with soft material to prevent damage to the retina.

D. Apply hydrating lotion to the newborn's skin prior to treatment: Hydrating lotion is not typically applied before phototherapy, as it may interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment or cause skin irritation.
