Practice Question

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Provide low-fat carbohydrates with meals.

Rationale:

🍞Low-fat carbohydrates such as crackers and toast are gentle on the stomach and can reduce nausea from equilibrium imbalance.

🧂Fatty foods are harder to digest and may exacerbate gastric discomfort and delay gastric emptying, worsening symptoms.

👩‍⚕️The nurse should recommend foods that are bland and low in fat to minimize vestibular-related nausea.

📌Core Message

Low-fat carbs are ideal during nausea as they are easily digestible and less likely to worsen gastric symptoms.
