Question
After instructing a client with diverticulitis whose flare-ups have subsided about appropriate self-care activities, which of the following comments made by the client indicates effective teaching? Select all that apply.Cassidy RhodyID: 112703Question 11Select all that apply:1."Dietary management will help to cure my diverticulitis."2."I will use a stimulant laxative once a week to relieve constipation."3."I will include more fiber in my diet."4."I will drink at least 2000 mL of fluid per day."5."I will resume taking bulk-forming agents if defecation becomes painful."
Solution
The comments that indicate effective teaching are:
3."I will include more fiber in my diet." 4."I will drink at least 2000 mL of fluid per day." 5."I will resume taking bulk-forming agents if defecation becomes painful."
These statements show that the client understands the importance of dietary management in controlling diverticulitis symptoms. Increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of fluids, and using bulk-forming agents can help prevent constipation, a common trigger for diverticulitis flare-ups.
Statement 1 is incorrect because dietary management can help control symptoms, but it does not cure diverticulitis. Statement 2 is also incorrect because regular use of stimulant laxatives is not recommended for diverticulitis management.
