Question

a nurse is assisting with the plan of care for a client who has cholelithiasis. which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan? a. restrict the clients fluid intake b. restrict the clients calcium intake c. decrease the clients fat intake d. decrease the clients potassium intake

Explanation:

Cholelithiasis (gallstones) is exacerbated by high fat intake, as fat stimulates gallbladder contraction which can trigger pain or complications. Restricting fluids, calcium, or potassium is not a standard intervention for this condition; in fact, adequate fluids support biliary function, and calcium restriction is not indicated for most gallstone cases.

Answer:

C. Decrease the client's fat intake
