The statement I will decrease my intake of foods that are high in phosphorus indicates the client's understanding of the teaching for chronic kidney disease.

Option B is correct

While excessive protein intake can burden the kidneys in later stages of CKD, in early stages, moderate protein intake may be recommended. Limiting phosphorus intake is often crucial for people with CKD as it accumulates in the blood and weakens bones and demonstrates an understanding of dietary restrictions.

Iron restriction is not typically a primary dietary concern in CKD unless the client has anemia or iron overload. Limiting sodium intake is crucial for controlling blood pressure and reducing fluid build-up, common issues in CKD and adding salt directly contradicts this recommendation, making statement D incorrect.

complete question:

I will consume foods that are high in protein B. I will decrease my intake of foods that are high in phosphorus C. I will limit my intake of foods that are high in iron D. I will add salt to the foods I consume
