Rationale: When a client's diverticulitis is asymptomatic, a soft high-fiber diet containing fruits,
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

✅✅

although modifications can be made to these foods to reduce their fat content. - -A nurse

and spaghetti are foods that are low in vitamin K. - -A client with atrial fibrillation has been

b. Scrambled eggs
c. Cheese casserole

, c. Potassium
Rationale: Most excretion of potassium and control of potassium balance is carried out by the

✅✅
removal during AKI is dialysis. Vitamins, carbohydrates, and fats are not normally restricted in
the client with AKI. - -A client recovering from acute kidney injury (AKI) is being discharged

a. Chicken, potatoes, and cranberries
b. Spinach salad, milk, and a banana
c. Peanut butter sandwich, milk, and prunes
d. Linguini with shrimp, tossed salad, and a plum

c. Right heel
Rationale: 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 instead of a
trapeze) and the heel of the good leg, which is used as a brace when the client pushes up from

✅✅
the bed). Other such pressure points include the ischial tuberosity, popliteal space, and Achilles
tendon. - -A client who has sustained multiple fractures of the left leg is in skeletal traction.
