The nurse is providing a teaching session to a client who has ulcerative colitis. The nurse will instruct the client for which diet? Correct Answer  Low-residue, low-fiber diet

Explanation: 

  • Ulcerative Colitis: 
    • It is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes lesions and inflammation in the inner lining of the large intestine, more specifically ulcerations in the colon and rectal part of the intestine.
  • A low-residue diet -- also known as a low-fiber diet -- is essentially a change in food consumption that strategically limits or avoids foods high in fiber. It is called "low-residue" because of the indigestible nature of the dietary fiber.

Do not consume these diets for ulcerative colitis

  • Carbohydrate and fat-laden things should not be consumed in this disease, because it takes more time to digest.
  • Caffeinated beverages should also be avoided in ulcerative colitis. These substances are soda, cold drinks, tea, coffee etc.
  • To recover faster from this disease, we should avoid the consumption of refined wheat, tomato, lemon, red meat, etc.
  • If an ulcerative colitis patient consumes things like black pepper, red chili, and green chili, then he should limit their quantity.
  • Patients with ulcerative colitis should always avoid using maida, and semolina. Because there is a lot of difficulty in digesting these things and it also affects the large intestine a lot.

It's nothing short of a revolution in how we eat, and it's getting closer every day. Yes, a lot of people are obese, and yes, the definition of "healthy eating" seems to change all the time. But in labs and research centres around the world, scientists are racing to match our genes and our taste buds, creating the perfect diet for each of us, a diet that will fight disease, increase longevity, boost physical and mental performance, and taste great to boot. As food scientist J.Bruce German says, "The foods we like the most will be the most healthy for us." Is that going to be a great day, or what? All this will come to pass, thanks to genomics, the science that maps and describes an individual's genetic code. In the future, personalized DNA chips will allow us to assess our own inherited predispositions for certain diseases, then adjust our diets accordingly. So, if you're at risk for heart disease, you won't just go on a generic low-fat diet. You'll eat foods with just the right amount and type of fat that's best for you. You'll even be able to track your metabolism day-to-day to determine what foods you should eat at any given time, for any given activity. "Since people differ in their genetics and metabolism, one diet won't fit all," says German. As complex as all this sounds, it could turn out to be relatively simple. Why won't a common diet fit everybody?
