Practice Question
The nurse is preparing a dietary plan for a client who has been prescribed a low residue diet. Which foods should the horse instruct the client to avoid?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Hard salami.
Rationale:
🥩 A low residue diet aims to reduce fiber and bowel stimulation, often prescribed for GI disorders or post-op bowel rest.
🥩 Hard salami is tough, high in fat, and difficult to digest, potentially increasing bowel activity and residue.
🥩 Soft, easily digestible foods like scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, and baked potatoes (without skin) are allowed.
🥩 The nurse should educate the client to avoid tough meats, whole grains, and raw fruits/veggies on this diet.
