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?

Rationale:

A. "You should use an oil-based vaginal lubricant when inserting your diaphragm." Incorrect.

Oil-based lubricants can weaken latex diaphragms, increasing the risk of breakage. Water-based lubricants are recommended instead.

B. "You should keep the diaphragm in place for at least 4 hours after intercourse." Incorrect.

Diaphragms should be left in place for at least 6 hours after intercourse but not longer than 24 hours.

C. "You should have your provider refit you for a new diaphragm."

Correct answer. After childbirth, the size and shape of the cervix may change, affecting the fit of the diaphragm. Therefore, it's important to have the diaphragm refitted by a healthcare provider.

D. "You should store your diaphragm in sterile water after each use." Incorrect. Diaphragms should be cleaned and dried thoroughly after each use and stored in a cool, dry place, not in sterile water.

Rationale:

A. "When was the last time you ate meat?": This question is not relevant for a client who adheres to a vegan diet, as they do not consume meat.

B. "Have you considered eating shellfish?": This question is not appropriate for a client who follows a vegan diet, as shellfish is not part of a vegan diet.

C. "How much protein do you eat in a day?":

Correct answer. Protein intake is an important consideration for individuals following a vegan diet, as they may need to ensure they are obtaining adequate protein from plant-based sources.

D. "Are you taking a Vitamin C supplement?": While assessing vitamin intake is important, protein intake is particularly relevant for a client following a vegan diet, as certain plant-based protein sources may be lower in certain essential amino acids compared to animal-based protein sources.
