During discharge teaching for a client with diverticulitis on a low-roughage diet, which food should be eliminated from the diet?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The client with diverticulitis needs to avoid gas-forming foods that can increase abdominal discomfort. Cooked broccoli is a high-fiber food that can worsen symptoms. Roasted chicken, noodles, and custard are suitable choices for a low-roughage diet as they are less likely to cause gas formation or abdominal discomfort.
