A client delivered a healthy infant by Caesarean birth. The doula might encourage the client to eat which food item to promote wound healing?
  1. Bananas
  2. Wheat bread
  3. Oranges
  4. Milk
Explanation
Answer: C - The client should be encouraged to eat oranges. Citrus fruits and juices are high in vitamin C, which is necessary to form collagen. Collagen is used in the synthesis of skin, scar tissues, and blood vessels. Bananas are high in potassium. Wheat bread is high in fiber, which lowers cholesterol and prevents constipation. Milk is high in calcium.
