The nurse is making recommendations to a client with a diagnosis of chronic constipation on ways to increase the fiber intake in his diet. Which of the following could be one of those recommendations?
A) Drink organ juice instead of orange drink.
B) Eat legumes two or three times per week.
C) Eat cream of wheat instead of white toast.
D) Eat pretzels instead of potato chips.
B
Feedback:
To increase the intake of fiber, encourage clients to eat dried peas and beans two or three times per week. Dried peas and beans are excellent sources of both insoluble and soluble fibers and are a fat-free alternative to meat. Orange juice and potato chips are not high sources of fiber, whereas cream of wheat and pretzels are made from refined grains rather than whole grains.
