Correct Answer: D

Question 4 of 5
The nurse has been preparing a client diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for discharge. Which statement by the client indicates the need for further teaching about nutrition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Large meals distend the abdomen and elevate the diaphragm, which may interfere with breathing for the client diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
