RN Comp Online Practice ATI 1. A nurse is providing teaching about improving nutrition for a client who has MS. Which of the following instructions should to nurse include?

The nurse should instruct the client that a swallowing study will be performed to determine the client's risk for aspiration due to difficulty swallowing, which is a manifestation of multiple sclerosis.

"You should restrict foods that are high in vitamin D." is incorrect. The nurse should instruct the client to maintain adequate vitamin D levels, because vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for multiple sclerosis. "Reduce your intake of dietary fiber." is incorrect. The nurse should instruct the client to increase dietary fiber and fluids to decrease the risk of constipation, which is a manifestation of multiple sclerosis. "Thicken your beverages before drinking." is correct.
