Question 1 of 5
Which type of diet should the nurse provide to help a client who has major burns maintain a positive nitrogen balance?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clients with major burns are in a hypermetabolic state, leading to increased protein catabolism.
Therefore, a high-protein diet is essential to help them maintain a positive nitrogen balance and support wound healing. High carbohydrate diets do not directly contribute to achieving a positive nitrogen balance, making choice B incorrect. Similarly, low carbohydrate diets are not recommended for clients with major burns as carbohydrates provide essential energy needed for healing. Low protein diets are contraindicated for clients with major burns as they require higher protein intake to support tissue repair and prevent further breakdown.
