Which of the following measures should the nurse take once the solution is administered? A) Instruct the client to have low-residue meals.
B) Allow the client to ingest fat-free meal.
C) Permit the client to drink only clear liquids.
D) Provide saline gargles to the client.
C
Feedback:
After polyethylene glycol/electrolyte solution is administered, the client should have clear liquids because this ensures watery stools, which are necessary for procedures like a barium enema. Allowing the client to ingest a fat-free meal is used in preparation for oral cholecystography. Instructing the client to have low-residue meals is a pretest procedure for barium enema. A client is offered saline gargles after esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
