Peptic Ulcer Disease ( 40 Questions)

A nurse is providing dietary education to a client with peptic ulcer disease. Which of the following dietary modifications should the nurse recommend to the client?


Correct Answer: B

Choice A reason:

Increasing the intake of spicy foods can exacerbate symptoms in a client with peptic ulcer disease, as they can irritate the stomach lining and increase acid production.

Choice B reason:

This statement is correct. Consuming small, frequent meals throughout the day can help reduce stomach distention and pressure, minimizing the symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.

Choice C reason:

Avoiding fluids with meals is not a standard recommendation for peptic ulcer disease. Adequate hydration is important, and drinking fluids with meals should not significantly affect stomach distention.

Choice D reason:

Citrus fruits and juices are acidic and can aggravate the stomach lining in a client with peptic ulcer disease. It is best to avoid or limit their consumption.
