Question

A diet that contains restricted amounts of protein, sodium, and potassium has been prescribed for a client with end-stage renal disease who is receiving dialysis. The nurse is providing dietary instructions and evaluates that the teaching is effective when the client says:1."I should avoid using salt substitutes."2."I should exclude meat from my diet."3."I may not add seasoning to my food."4."I may eat low-sodium canned vegetables."

Answer 1

Answer:

I should avoid using salt substitutes.

Explanation:

Renal or kidney disease occur when the kidney is unable to perform its function properly and unable to filter blood. High blood pressure and diabetes increase the chances of renal disease.

The individual's diet suffering from renal disease should contain least or restricted amount of potassium, sodium and protein. The diet is effective if client avoids the using of salt substitutes in his diet. This maintains the proper balance in renal disease.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
