The nurse is teaching a client about the prescribed diet after a whipple procedure for cancer of the pancreas. which statement should the nurse include in the dietary teaching? 1."there are no dietary restrictions because the tumor has been removed."2"your diet should be low in calories to prevent taxing your diseased pancreas."3"meals should be restricted in protein because of your compromised liver function."4"low-fat meals should be eaten to prevent interference with your fat digestion mechanism

The statement that the nurse should include in the dietary teaching is “4” Low-fat meals should be eaten to prevent interference with your fat digestion mechanism.

Explanation:

Option “1” There are no dietary restrictions because the tumor has been removed, is wrong. After any surgery there are different dietary recommendations to help healing. Option “2” Your diet should be low in calories to prevent taxing your diseased pancreas, is wrong too. To help recovery there’s a huge need to increase calories in a gradual way. It happens the same with option 3, because of the function of proteins to help in recovery. So option “4” is the correct one because the fat metabolism is affected in this procedure.
