    After teaching a client newly diagnosed with cholecystitis about recommended diet changes, the nurse evaluates the client's learning. Which food choices eliminated by the client indicate to the nurse that teaching has been successful?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Canned vegetables with additional table salt should be limited, but eliminating these does not directly indicate understanding of cholecystitis management.Choice B reason: Citrus fruit and melon with a salt substitute are not typically related to cholecystitis management.Choice C reason:The correct answer is c) because whole milk and daily servings of ice cream are high in fat, which should be avoided in clients with cholecystitis to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.Choice D reason: Pasta with herbal butter and no meat sauce can be a lower-fat option and is not directly related to managing cholecystitis.
