The nurse has completed instructions regarding diet and fluid restriction for the client diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. The nurse determines that the client understands the information presented if the client selected which dessert from the dietary menu?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
For fluid-restricted diets in chronic kidney disease, clients should avoid foods liquid at room temperature like Jell-O, sherbet, and ice cream, which count as fluid intake. Angel food cake is a solid dessert, allowing more fluid intake by drinking to alleviate thirst.
