Question

Nurse Allyson and the provider are reviewing chronic kidney disease information with Mr. Jones. Which of the following statements made by Mr. Jones indicates he understands the information?

A) "I can skip my medications occasionally."
B) "I'll limit my fluid intake to 2 liters a day."
C) "I'll avoid exercise to rest my kidneys."
D) "High-protein diet is good for me."

Answer 1

Mr. Jones understands the chronic kidney disease information when he mentions limiting his fluid intake, aligning with preventive strategies to manage kidney health.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Jones shows an understanding of chronic kidney disease management when he states, "I'll limit my fluid intake to 2 liters a day." This statement aligns with the preventive strategy of managing fluid intake to reduce the excretory load on the kidneys. In contrast, option A (skipping medications) would be detrimental to managing his condition, and option C (avoiding exercise) and D (a high-protein diet) are not recommended; especially a high-protein diet is to be avoided since a low-protein diet is typically advised to lessen the burden on the kidneys.
