NCLEX Question of the Day
Review the question, check the correct answer, and read the rationale before tomorrow's prompt arrives.
A nurse provides dietary counseling for a client with a history of kidney stones. Which foods should the nurse advise the client to avoid?
-
Fresh fruits like apples and bananas.
-
Correct answer Foods high in oxalate like spinach, nuts, and tea.
-
Lean meats and poultry.
-
Whole grains and cereals.
Rationale
For individuals prone to forming calcium oxalate stones, reducing intake of foods high in oxalates can help prevent the formation of stones. Whole grains, fruits like apples and bananas, and lean meats do not contain significant amounts of oxalates and generally do not need to be avoided in clients with a history of kidney stones.
