vegetables, and whole grains is recommended. The client is also instructed to
consume a small amount of bran daily and to take bulk-forming laxatives, if
prescribed, to increase stool mass and softness. Increasing fluid intake to 2500 to
3000 mL daily (unless contraindicated) is also important. A low-fat diet may be
healthy but is not specific to this disorder. A high-carbohydrate diet is not helpful for
the client with this condition.

Certain areas are under pressure and at risk for breakdown in the client who is in
skeletal traction. These areas include the elbows (if they are used for repositioning

the client pushes up from the bed). Other such pressure points include the ischial
tuberosity, popliteal space, and Achilles tendon.

inhibitor (MAOI), about the medication. Which foods are allowed in the diet of the
client taking phenelzine? - ANSWER Peas

include aged cheeses, smoked or processed meats, red wines, beer, and certain
fruits, including avocados, raisins, and figs. Vegetables, with the exception of broad-
bean pods, are generally acceptable.
