    Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam

    The healthcare provider prescribes the antibiotic cefdinir 300 mg PO every 12 hours for a client with a postoperative wound infection. Which foods should the nurse encourage this client to eat?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Fresh fruits are generally healthy but do not specifically address the need for probiotics, which can help restore gut flora affected by antibiotics. B. Green leafy vegetables are nutritious but are not particularly beneficial for counteracting the effects of antibiotic therapy. C. Yogurt or buttermilk are good choices because they contain probiotics, which can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and counteract the potential side effects of antibiotics, such as diarrhea. D. Avocados and cheese are nutritious but do not offer the same probiotic benefits as yogurt or buttermilk.
