Answer to Question 1

B
Phosphate binders, used to reduce serum phosphorus levels, should be taken with meals. This allows the medications to bind the phosphorus in the food. They are ineffective if taken with flu-ids only, between meals, or 1 hour after meals.

Answer to Question 2

D
Milk is restricted in patients who are receiving hemodialysis because it is high in phosphorus. Bananas and potatoes are high in potassium, not phosphorus. Eggs are not high in phosphorus and provide a good source of high-quality protein.
