a nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has dumping syndrome. which of the following instructions should the nurse include? a. consume beverages with meals b. eat 3 large meals per day c. include high - fiber foods in the diet d. eat a source of protein with each meal

Explanation:

Dumping syndrome involves rapid emptying of stomach contents into the small intestine. To slow this, protein helps delay gastric emptying. Beverages with meals speed up emptying, large meals worsen symptoms, and high-fiber foods can irritate the GI tract in this condition.
