Question 1 of 5
A patient with intractable or severe nausea and vomiting from an unknown cause should be placed on a bland diet.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A bland diet reduces gastric irritation by avoiding substances that stimulate acid secretion or exacerbate nausea. It includes foods like rice, bananas, and toast that are easy to digest and less likely to provoke symptoms of nausea or vomiting. Opposing the bland diet recommendation for severe nausea ignores scientific evidence that supports its use. Providing a diet rich in spices or acidic foods can worsen symptoms by irritating the gastrointestinal tract further.
