Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are characteristic of dumping syndrome, which occurs when food rapidly "dumps" into the small intestine, causing fluid shifts, hypoglycemia, and gastrointestinal distress. This can occur after gastric bypass surgery, which alters the normal anatomy of the digestive tract. Treatment may include dietary modifications, medication, and counseling.

Question 9

Nursing Exam Review The nurse recognizes that a patient with peptic ulcer disease should avoid foods that may irritate the gastrointestinal lining, such as:

Accepted Answer

Alcohol, coffee, and pepper are all known to increase gastric acid secretion, which can irritate the gastrointestinal lining and worsen peptic ulcer disease. Eggs, spareribs, and cheese may not necessarily irritate the gastrointestinal lining, although they may be high in fat and difficult to digest for some patients. Tea, orange juice, and potato chips may also be irritants, but the main culprits are typically alcohol, coffee, and pepper. Apples, broccoli, sweet potatoes, yogurt, ice cream, and margarine are not known to be irritants for peptic ulcer disease.

The client should also eat small, frequent meals and emphasize protein-rich foods. Grains, fruits, and vegetables are also important components of the diet, but eliminating meat and eggs or all dairy products is not necessary. Excluding decaffeinated coffee, tea, and artificially sweetened drinks is not a specific post-gastrectomy diet recommendation.
