About one-half of clients who are diagnosed with kidney stones will have a recurrence within 10 years. When providing education to a client recovering from kidney stones, it is important for the nurse to stress the importance of:
 
  1. Avoiding calcium containing foods.
   2. Increasing fluid intake.
   3. Maintaining a high sodium diet.
   4. Increasing proteins from animal sources.

Question 2

The nurse is lecturing to a class of nursing students about diet adherence in the obese client. She explains that adding structure to low-calorie diets improves adherence to the diet.
 
  The students are given an assignment to break into groups and make a list of strategies that can be used to encourage clients to stick with their diets. What strategy would you expect to see on every list? A) Give the client a list of ingredients for suggested recipes
  B) Give the client a list of restaurants with low-calorie menu items
  C) Give the client preprinted menus
  D) Give the client a list of potential diet buddies

Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: The primary dietary intervention to prevent kidney stones is the increase of fluid intake since precipitation and aggregation of crystals is less likely in dilute urine. Normal calcium intake is appropriate in the diet and should not be restricted to avoid the development of osteoporosis. Sodium should be limited to 2,3003,450 mg/day to avoid competition at the renal tubule for calcium reabsorption. Protein from animal sources should be limited in clients prone to calcium oxalate and uric acid stones.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Structure can be added by providing meal plans and actual grocery lists, menus, and recipes or reliable websites where they can be found.
