Aclient experiences occasional right upper quadrant pain attributed to cholecystitis. the nurse is providing discharge instructions, including a list of foods that cause dyspepsia. which foods should be on the list the nurse provided the client?

There are choices for this question namely:

1 Nuts and popcorn
2 Meatloaf and baked potato
3 Chocolate and boiled shrimp
4 Fried chicken and buttered corn

The correct answer is "fried chicken and buttered corn". In a patient with cholecystitis, the pathology is within the gall bladder. The main function of the gall bladder is to store bile secreted from the liver and excrete it whenever there is stimuli for digestion (i.e. stretch of the stomach due to food intake). In cholecystitis, there is deranged excretion of bile from the gall bladder. Bile is used to emulsify fat content from the food. Fried chicken and buttered corn contains high amounts of fat and in the event of deranged excretion of bile, there will be indigestion of fat content leading to dyspepsia.
