Question 1 of 5

A client who is experiencing a first gouty arthritis attack reports excruciating pain in the right great toe. The nurse inspects the inflamed joint and administers ibuprofen 800mg PO as prescribed. Which instruction should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Avoiding the consumption of wine, beer, and coffee is crucial for managing gout. Alcohol, particularly beer and wine, contains high levels of purines, which can increase uric acid production and exacerbate gout symptoms. Alcohol also promotes dehydration, which can lead to higher uric acid concentrations in the blood. Both of these factors can trigger gout attacks.
