Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with ulcerative colitis calls the clinic and reports increasing abdominal pain and increased frequency of loose stools. He asks to clarify what type of diet he is to follow. Which diet is best for clients with ulcerative colitis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Low fiber.' Clients with ulcerative colitis should follow a low-residue diet, which means consuming low fiber to reduce the frequency and volume of stools, helping to alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. High fiber diets can worsen the condition by stimulating bowel movements.
Choice A, 'High vitamin,' is incorrect as the focus is on fiber content rather than vitamins.
Choice B, 'High calorie,' is not specifically recommended for ulcerative colitis and may not address the symptoms effectively.
Choice C, 'Low sugar,' does not directly address the dietary needs of clients with ulcerative colitis as the issue is more related to fiber intake than sugar consumption.
