The nurse is performing discharge teaching on a client with ulcerative colitis who has been placed on a low-residue diet. Which food would need to be eliminated from this client's diet?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
A low-residue diet minimizes fiber to reduce bowel irritation. Cooked broccoli, being high in fiber, should be eliminated, unlike low-fiber foods like roasted chicken, noodles, or roast beef.
