Practice Question
The nurse has instructed a patient who is receiving hemodialysis about dietary management. Which diet choices by the patient indicate that the teaching has been successful?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Oatmeal with cream, half a banana and turkey sausage
Rationale:
💎Clients on hemodialysis need a diet that is high in protein to replace protein lost during dialysis, but restricted in potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and fluids.
💎Oatmeal with cream, half a banana, and turkey sausage provides:
Protein from turkey sausage (needed for healing and muscle maintenance).
Controlled potassium (half a banana provides a small, safe portion of potassium, not excessive).
Oatmeal and cream provide energy without dangerously high phosphorus.
💎Other options explained:
Cheese sandwich, tomato soup, cranberry juice: High sodium and high phosphorus (cheese, tomato soup).
Scrambled eggs, English muffin, and orange juice: Eggs are good protein, but orange juice is high in potassium (unsafe).
Split-pea soup, whole-wheat toast, and nonfat milk: Legumes (peas) and milk are very high in phosphorus and potassium, not recommended.
