The nurse knows teaching about fiber intake has been effective when the client states:
1. "The more the better.".
2. "If I eat fiber, I won't get constipated.".
3. "A bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and an apple with lunch will provide almost all the fiber I need for a day.".
4. "Fiber causes diarrhea.".
1
Rationale: The client should consume as much fiber as possible each day; at least 25 grams for females and 35 grams for males. Fiber in the diet helps prevent constipation, but it is not a function of merely consuming fiber-rich foods; it is a function of the quantity that is consumed. Oatmeal and an apple will contribute less than 10 grams of fiber to the diet, well under the minimum recommended daily amount. Fiber does not cause diarrhea when consumed in recommended amounts, although the amount should be increased gradually in those who are not used to consuming the recommended amount.
