Which food choice indicates a need for further teaching for a client with a bile duct blockage?

A bowel obstruction, particularly involving the bile duct, complicates digestion, especially the digestion of fats. When the bile duct is blocked, bile cannot flow into the intestines, impairing the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats. Whole milk is high in fat content, which can exacerbate symptoms and lead to further complications in individuals with a bile duct blockage.

In contrast, the other food choices like rice, broiled fish, and baked chicken are generally better choices as they are lower in fat or are sources of lean protein, which can be easier to digest and typically do not provoke fat-related issues. Therefore, choosing whole milk indicates a misunderstanding of the dietary restrictions necessary for managing symptoms associated with a bile duct blockage. This suggests that further education on dietary management during such a condition would be beneficial.
