Practice Question
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about high-potassium foods with a client. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
1 medium potato
Rationale:
🟣 Potatoes are a high-potassium food, making them an excellent recommendation for clients needing to increase potassium intake.
🟣 Fruits like apples and cabbage are lower in potassium and less effective for potassium replacement.
🟣 Potassium is crucial for muscle, nerve, and cardiac function; deficiency can cause serious health issues.
🟣 Watermelon has more water than potassium content, so is not a top source.
🟣 Education about dietary potassium sources helps prevent hypokalemia, especially in clients on diuretics.
🟣 Including potassium-rich foods in the diet supports electrolyte balance.
