Question

a nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with a client who has chronic kidney disease and requires a low - potassium diet. which of the following food choices by the client demonstrates an understanding of the teaching?
1 cup of cantaloupe
1 large baked potato
4 oz of banana chips
1 cup of applesauce

Explanation:

To determine the correct food choice for a low - potassium diet in chronic kidney disease:

• Cantaloupe is a high - potassium fruit, so 1 cup of cantaloupe is not a good choice.
• Baked potatoes are high in potassium, so 1 large baked potato is not suitable.
• Banana chips are made from bananas, which are high in potassium, so 4 oz of banana chips is not appropriate.
• Applesauce is relatively low in potassium compared to the other options. So choosing 1 cup of applesauce shows an understanding of the low - potassium diet teaching.

Answer:

1 cup of applesauce
