A nurse is providing teaching about dietary options for a client who has cholelithiasis. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.
“Cauliflower is a good dietary choice.”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B.
“Increase the amount of egg yolks in your diet.”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.
“Select desserts such as angel-food cake.”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.
“Eat choice or prime cuts of meat.”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is C. “Select desserts such as angel-food cake.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cholelithiasis, commonly known as gallstones, can lead to various digestive issues, particularly affecting how the body processes fats. Dietary management is essential for individuals with this condition, as certain foods can exacerbate symptoms or contribute to gallstone formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Fat Content<\/strong>: When teaching clients about dietary choices, it’s crucial to emphasize low-fat options. Foods high in fat can trigger gallbladder contractions, leading to pain and discomfort. Angel-food cake is a low-fat dessert, making it a suitable option for someone with cholelithiasis. It is primarily made from egg whites, sugar, and flour, avoiding heavy fats that can provoke symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Avoiding High-Fat Foods<\/strong>: Option A, “Cauliflower is a good dietary choice,” is misleading as vegetables are generally healthy but can be high in certain compounds that may cause gas and discomfort in some individuals. While cauliflower itself is not problematic, the focus should be on overall low-fat options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Egg Yolks and Meats<\/strong>: Option B, “Increase the amount of egg yolks in your diet,” is not recommended because egg yolks are high in cholesterol and fat, which can exacerbate gallbladder issues. Similarly, option D, “Eat choice or prime cuts of meat,” implies consuming fatty cuts of meat, which should be avoided. Lean meats are preferred, but even these should be consumed in moderation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Overall Dietary Recommendations<\/strong>: A diet for someone with cholelithiasis should include high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while minimizing saturated fats and cholesterol. This approach helps reduce the risk of gallstone formation and maintains a healthier digestive process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In summary, recommending low-fat options like angel-food cake is appropriate, while the other options suggest higher-fat foods that can worsen the condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
