A patient with heart failure develops hyperaldosteronism and is prescribed spironolactone. What instructions should the nurse include in the patientÔÇÖs care plan?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
This question is identical to Question 7. Spironolactone increases potassium retention, so limiting high-potassium foods (C) prevents hyperkalemia. Salt substitutes (A) contain potassium. Sun protection (B) and bruising (D) are unrelated. Note: Duplicate question; consider removing.
