Practice Question
A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation and has cholelithiasis. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend for the client to include in her diet?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Baked chicken.
Rationale:
🍃 A low-fat, high-protein option like baked chicken is ideal for clients with cholelithiasis to reduce gallbladder stimulation.
🍃 High-fat foods (e.g., fried foods, bacon, full-fat dairy) worsen symptoms like abdominal pain and biliary colic.
🍃 Fat stimulates the release of bile, which may cause pain when the flow is obstructed by gallstones.
🍃 A lean protein diet supports both fetal development and maternal digestion.
🍃 Nutritional planning reduces the risk of gallbladder attacks during pregnancy.
