dumping syndrome

Okay.

The nurse is teaching a client who had a subtotal gastrectomy about ways to prevent dumping syndrome.

Which of the following foods would be appropriate for the nurse to recommend eliminating from the client's diet? Cheese, red meats, ice cream, yellow vegetables.

And the correct answer is ice cream.

Why? Well, you know, one of the ways you're going to teach the patient after they've had a gastrectomy to prevent dumping syndrome is stay away from these foods what are they called? These sugars, these simple sugars.

Stay away from the high sugar containing like the drinks and the sodas and the ice cream, anything that's high in sugar.

You're going to teach them not to eat and drink at the same time.

That can also cause dumping syndrome.
