Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is to start therapy with furosemide. The nurse determines that the teaching is effective when the client states he will increase intake of which of the following foods?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Baked potatoes. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can lead to potassium depletion. Baked potatoes are high in potassium, which can help prevent hypokalemia associated with furosemide therapy. Oatmeal, brown rice, and eggs are not particularly high in potassium and would not be the best choice for increasing potassium intake. By choosing baked potatoes, the client can help maintain adequate potassium levels while on furosemide therapy.
