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 loss. Baked potatoes are a great source of potassium, which can help replenish the potassium lost due to the diuretic. Potassium-rich foods like baked potatoes can help prevent hypokalemia, a potential side effect of loop diuretics. Cooked carrots, cheddar cheese, and 2% milk are not significant sources of potassium compared to baked potatoes.
Therefore, recommending a baked potato as a source of potassium is the most appropriate choice to address the potential electrolyte imbalance caused by furosemide.
