Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has acute diverticulitis. while the client has active inflammation, the nurse should instruct the client to include which of the following foods in her diet? a. white bread and plain yogurt b. shredded wheat cereal and blueberries c. broccoli and kidney beans d. oatmeal and pears

Explanation:

During active acute diverticulitis, a low-fiber diet is recommended to reduce irritation of the inflamed intestinal lining. Low-fiber foods are refined, non-residue options. White bread is a refined grain (low fiber), and plain yogurt is a smooth, low-fiber dairy. The other options contain high-fiber foods (whole grains, berries, broccoli, beans, oatmeal, pears) which are avoided during active inflammation.

Answer:

A. White bread and plain yogurt
