A nurse in a medical-surgical unit is caring for a client. Exhibits Select the 3 statements that the nurse should include while providing teaching to the client about self-care.

Rationale: A. "You should eat foods high in protein." Protein is essential for tissue repair and healing, especially after pancreatitis. A diet rich in protein supports recovery and helps maintain muscle mass and immune function. B. “Limit alcohol intake to no more than one drink per day." Alcohol is a major risk factor for pancreatitis; complete abstinence is necessary to prevent recurrence. Advising to limit intake rather than abstain may lead to misunderstanding and increased risk. C. "Notify your provider if you experience vomiting or diarrhea." Vomiting and diarrhea may indicate complications such as worsening pancreatitis, infection, or intolerance to diet changes. Early reporting can prevent severe dehydration and further complications. D. "You should eat foods that are low in fat." Low-fat foods reduce pancreatic stimulation, which is crucial in managing pancreatitis. Consuming high-fat foods can exacerbate symptoms and prolong inflammation. E. “You can drink beverages that contain caffeine." Caffeine can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and may worsen symptoms in pancreatitis. One should limit or avoid caffeine during recovery.
