a nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diverticulitis about preventing acute attacks. which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
a. foods high in vitamin c
b. foods low in fat
c. foods high in fiber
d. foods low in calories

Explanation:

For clients with diverticulitis, a high-fiber diet helps regulate bowel movements, reduce pressure in the colon, and prevent the formation or irritation of diverticula, which lowers the risk of acute attacks. Other options do not directly target the prevention of diverticulitis flares.
