Answer to Question 1

B
The meal that would fit best within a renal diet plan is baked chicken with rice and green beans. This provides high-quality protein without excessive sodium, potassium, or phosphorus. The omelet provides high-quality protein from eggs and cheese, but cheese is high in phosphorus and biscuits are higher in sodium than other breads. The beans in the burrito provide lower-quality protein and are high in phosphorus; also, the tortilla chips are high in sodium (unless they are unsalted). Peanut butter provides lower-quality protein and is high in phosphorus; whole wheat bread is also high in phosphorus.

Answer to Question 2

B
The National Renal Diet provides flexible meal planning tools for patients with chronic renal failure. Food intake needs to be tailored to individual preferences and lifestyles, so menus are not provided. It still requires the help of a registered dietitian to develop a personalized meal plan. There are no acceptable and unacceptable foods for patients with chronic renal failure, but the National Renal Diet helps patients choose appropriate portion sizes of foods high in nutrients that must be limited.
