    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has dumping syndrome following gastric surgery. Which of the following information should the nurse reinforce in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Eat three moderate sized meals a day: Small, frequent meals are better to reduce dumping symptoms. B. Increase protein in the diet: High-protein, low-carbohydrate meals slow gastric emptying and reduce dumping symptoms. C. Drink at least one glass of water with each meal: Fluids should be avoided during meals and taken between to prevent rapid gastric emptying. D. Eat a bedtime snack right before bed that contains a milk product: Snacks should be tailored; milk contains lactose, which may worsen symptoms.
