Question 1 of 5

A perinatal client is admitted to the obstetric unit during an exacerbation of a heart condition. When planning for the nutritional requirements which dietary intervention should the nurse consult the dietitian about?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Constipation can cause the client to use Valsalva's maneuver. This maneuver can cause blood to rush to the heart and overload the cardiac system. A low-calorie diet is not recommended during pregnancy. Diets low in fluid and fiber can cause a decrease in blood volume that can deprive the fetus of nutrients; it can also lead to constipation.
Therefore, adequate fluid intake and high-fiber foods are important. Sodium should be restricted to some degree as prescribed by the primary health care provider because this will cause an overload to the circulating blood volume and contribute to cardiac complications.
