3 -- This patient should have limited food intake, reintroducing solid foods slowly. Therefore, clear liquids are the best approach. The nurse should provide antidiarrheal medication as prescribed. Because of the potential for orthostatic hypotension, this patient should be instructed to move slowly and not engage in normal activities of daily living until the blood pressure is assessed.
