The laboratory data reveal a calcium phosphate renal stone for a client diagnosed with renal calculi. Which discharge teaching intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Calcium phosphate stones are linked to hypercalciuria. Limiting vitamin D-enriched foods reduces calcium absorption, preventing recurrence. Low-purine diets are for uric acid stones, water restriction is contraindicated, and ESWL is a treatment, not teaching.
