1. "I have increased my carbohydrate intake."
2. "I have reduced my sugar intake."
3. "I have increased my protein intake."
4. "I have decreased my fat intake."

Rationale: Increased protein intake is important to replace protein lost through the drainage from the ulcers. In addition, the client needs extra vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc for wound healing.
