The nurse is assisting a client with diverticulosis to select appropriate
foods. Which food should be avoided?
A. Bran
B. Fresh peaches
C. Cucumber salad

A client has rectal cancer and is scheduled for an abdominal perineal
resection. What should be the priority nursing care during the post-op period?
A. Teaching how to irrigate the illeostomy
B. Stopping electrolyte loss in the incisional area
C. Encouraging a high-fiber diet

Answer D: The client with a perineal resection will have a perineal incision.
Drains will be used to facilitate wound drainage. This will help prevent infection of
the surgical site. The client will not have an illeostomy, as in answer A; he will

answer B is incorrect. A high-fiber diet, in answer C, is not ordered at this time.
