Simulated
The nurse is planning dietary counseling for the client with chronic heart failure taking triamterene. The nurse plans to include which item in a list of foods that are acceptable?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Triamterene is a potassium-retaining diuretic, so high-potassium foods like bananas, oranges, and potatoes should be avoided. Canned pears are lower in potassium, making them acceptable.
