The nurse is caring for a client with a history of kidney stones. The stones have been analyzed and are all composed of calcium phosphate. Based on this data, which foods should the nurse teach the client to avoid?
A) Chicken, beef, and ham products
B) Organ meats, sardines, and seafood
C) Tomatoes, fruits, and nuts
D) Flour, milk, and ice cream
Answer: D
Flour, milk, and milk products such as ice cream have high calcium levels and, therefore, are recommended to be reduced to decrease the risk of further episodes of calcium-containing calculi. Organ meats, sardines, seafood, tomatoes, fruits, nuts, chicken, beef, and ham products are not high in calcium and do not need to be restricted for this client.
