A client is recovering from a gastric resection for peptic ulcer disease. Which of the following outcomes indicates that the goal of adequate nutritional intake is being achieved 3 weeks following surgery
A. Increases food intake and tolerance gradually.
B. Experiences occasional episodes of nausea and vomiting.
C. Experiences a rapid weight gain within 1 week.
D. Drinks 2000 mL/day of water.
参考答案:A
解析:Weight gain will be slow and gradual because less food can be eaten at one time due to the decreased stomach size. More food and fluid will be tolerated as edema at the suture line decreases and healing progresses. The remaining stomach may stretch over time to accommodate more food.
