Match the term with the correct definition:

Choice A rationale

Strict monitoring of intake and output in CHF patients with furosemide therapy prevents fluid overload and underhydration. Foley catheter placement accurately quantifies urine output, crucial in critically ill patients with diuretic-induced fluid shifts. This ensures precise fluid balance adjustments, improving patient outcomes.

Choice B rationale

Omitting Foley catheter placement in CHF patients risks inaccurate fluid balance monitoring. Furosemide causes frequent, unpredictable urination, complicating intake-output tracking without direct measurement. This approach undermines effective management of diuretic therapy and fluid overload prevention in critical settings. .

Choice A rationale

A bland diet reduces gastric irritation by avoiding substances that stimulate acid secretion or exacerbate nausea. It includes foods like rice, bananas, and toast that are easy to digest and less likely to provoke symptoms of nausea or vomiting.

Choice B rationale

Opposing the bland diet recommendation for severe nausea ignores scientific evidence that supports its use. Providing a diet rich in spices or acidic foods can worsen symptoms by irritating the gastrointestinal tract further. .
