A client who is six months pregnant is at the clinic for a regular prenatal check. She tells the nurse that she is having trouble with constipation, and that it is quite painful at times
The nurse would encourage the client to add which of the following to her diet? 1. Two glasses of milk per day
2. Three helpings of brown rice per day
3. Fruits and vegetables at every meal
4. More lean proteins at each meal
3
Rationale: Fiber added to the diet increases bulk and assists the digestive tract to eliminate wastes. The best sources of fiber are plant sources or fruits and vegetables. The pregnant mother should be eating several fruit and vegetable servings at meals, along with increasing water intake, to decrease constipation. Milk and protein are not sources of fiber. Brown rice is a source of fiber, but fruits and vegetable are a better choice.
