The nurse is caring for a 9-year-old boy who is having chemotherapy. The nurse is developing a teaching plan for the child and family about nutrition. What instruction would the nurse be least likely to include?
A) Emphasizing the intake of grains, fruits, and vegetables
B) Featuring high-fiber foods if opioid analgesics are being taken
C) Concentrating on consuming primarily high-calorie shakes and puddings
D) Avoiding milk products if diarrhea is a problem
Ans: C
Providing high-calorie shakes and puddings with diet restrictions can help with weight gain, if that is a problem. However, concentrating on high-calorie shakes and puddings is not a good strategy. It is best to provide a balanced diet emphasizing grains, fruits, and vegetables. If pain is being treated with opioid analgesics, featuring high-fiber foods is important to help relieve constipation. Avoiding milk products is a good idea if diarrhea is a problem because lactose can make diarrhea worse.
