Practice Question
A nurse is completing discharge instructions with a client following an acute onset of gout. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the treatment regimen?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
“I will limit my alcohol intake.”
Rationale:
🎗️ Alcohol raises uric acid production (adenosine breakdown), precipitating acute gout attacks.
🎗️ Beer/spirits impair renal urate excretion, worsening hyperuricemia and flares.
🎗️ Reducing alcohol lowers flare frequency alongside low-purine diet and hydration.
🎗️ Aspirin (esp. low dose) alters urate handling, so avoiding extra aspirin is prudent unless prescribed for other indications.
🎗️ Hydration should be increased (not restricted) to promote uric acid renal clearance.
