Question

a nurse is caring for a client who is taking a diuretic. the nurse should instruct the client to include which of the following foods in their diet to increase potassium intake? eggs cabbage cheese raisins

Explanation:

To determine the food that increases potassium intake, we analyze each option:

• Eggs: Rich in protein, fat, and some vitamins, but not a high - potassium food.
• Cabbage: A vegetable, but its potassium content is relatively low compared to raisins.
• Cheese: High in fat and protein (and sodium in some cases), low in potassium.
• Raisins: Dried grapes are known to be a good source of potassium, along with other nutrients like iron and fiber. Diuretics can cause potassium loss, so including raisins helps replenish potassium.

Answer:

D. Raisins
