Answer to Question 1

D, E, F
Feedback:
There are various fruits that are low in potassium and safe to eat. They include the pineapple, cranberries, and plums. Kiwi, oranges, and apricots contain potassium and should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The practice of taking vitamin C supplements to prevent or cure the common cold has been around for years. Scientific studies have been done and are ongoing, but there is no definitive evidence of its benefit. Since there is no evidence, the nurse should not recommend it to clients, children, or adults. Some vitamin supplements are expensive, but the client was not asking about cost.
