The client is scheduled for oral cholecystography. For the evening meal prior to the test, the nurse provides a list of foods from which diet type?
1. Liquid
2. Fat-free
3. Low-protein
4. High-carbohydrate
2
Rationale: Normal dietary intake of fat should be maintained during the days preceding the test to empty bile from the gallbladder. A low-fat or fat-free diet is prescribed on the evening before the test. This prevents contraction of the gallbladder and allows for accumulation of the contrast substance needed for x-ray visualization during the testing procedure. Therefore "liquid," "low-protein," and "high-carbohydrate" are incorrect.
