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.

Rationale:

A. Lentils are a legume known for their high fiber content, making them an excellent choice for increasing dietary fiber.

B. While cabbage is a vegetable, it does not contain as much fiber per cup as lentils.

C. Asparagus is a vegetable that contains fiber, but it typically has lower fiber content per cup compared to lentils.

D. Oatmeal is a grain that contains fiber, but lentils generally have a higher fiber content per cup than oatmeal.

Rationale:

A. Newborns with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) are often irritable and hypersensitive to stimuli. Keeping the environment calm and quiet can help minimize their discomfort.

B. Naloxone is not routinely used in the management of NAS unless there is evidence of severe respiratory depression or opioid overdose, which is not indicated in this scenario.

C. Maternal opioid use and positive urine drug screens for methadone may contraindicate breastfeeding due to the potential transmission of opioids to the infant through breast milk. It's essential to consult with healthcare providers regarding the safest feeding option for the newborn.

D. Eye contact during feeding is essential for bonding between the parent and the newborn and should not be discouraged unless medically necessary.

E. Ballard newborn screening helps assess the newborn's gestational age and guide appropriate care for neonates with NAS, as they may require specialized management.

F. Daily weighing helps monitor the newborn's hydration status and overall well-being, which is crucial in managing NAS and ensuring adequate nutrition.

G. Swaddling can provide comfort to newborns with NAS by mimicking the womb environment and reducing their agitation.
