Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing dietary teaching for a client who takes furosemide (Lasix), a loop diuretic. The nurse should recommend which of the food is a great source of potassium?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Baked potato. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause potassium depletion. Baked potatoes are an excellent source of potassium, providing about 900 mg per medium-sized potato. Potassium-rich foods help prevent hypokalemia, a potential side effect of furosemide. Cooked carrots, cheddar cheese, and 2% milk are not significant sources of potassium compared to a baked potato.
Therefore, recommending a baked potato is the most appropriate choice to ensure adequate potassium intake for this client.
