Answer to Question 1

4. Decrease fat consumption

Rationale:
The client who is experiencing cholelithiasis should be instructed on the relationship between increased fat consumption and the severity of pain associated with cholelithiasis. While all clients should be instructed to reduce sodium intake, decreasing sodium will not assist in reducing cholelithiasis or its pain. Increasing fluids will not assist in reducing cholelithiasis or its pain. While all clients should cease smoking, it has no relationship to cholelithiasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
