Why is it appropriate to avoid heavy meals at once in a vomiting patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Heavy food may be difficult to tolerate
Vomiting can make the stomach sensitive and can reduce tolerance for large meals. A heavy meal may stretch the stomach, worsen nausea, or trigger further vomiting. Small, frequent amounts of suitable fluids or light foods are usually introduced gradually according to medical advice, while hydration and the cause of vomiting are monitored.
