Question 1 of 5
A client diagnosed with diverticulitis has been experiencing episodes of gastrointestinal cramping. The nurse should tell the client to maintain which type of diet during the asymptomatic period?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: High in fiber. During the asymptomatic period of diverticulitis, a high-fiber diet helps prevent diverticula formation and reduces the risk of diverticulitis flare-ups by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. Fiber also helps maintain healthy gut flora.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as high carbohydrates may worsen symptoms, low residue may lead to constipation, and low fat is not directly related to diverticulitis management.
