After a subtotal gastrectomy, the nurse is developing a plan with the client to assist the client to gain weight. To help the client meet nutritional goals at home, the nurse should:

1. Instruct the client to increase the amount eaten at each meal.

2. Encourage the client to eat smaller amounts more frequently.

3. Explain that if vomiting occurs after a meal, nothing more should be eaten that day.

4. Inform the client that bland foods are typically less nutritional and should be used minimally.
