A client with renal failure will be discharged to home in the next few days. When conducting dietary instruction, the nurse teaches the client to choose proteins that are high in biological value
Which client statement indicates that teaching has been effective?
A) "I will be sure to include eggs in my diet."
B) "I should include vegetables at every meal."
C) "Legumes should be included in my diet, as they are complete proteins."
D) "I will eat nuts daily because they are high in protein."
Answer: A
Eggs are an excellent source of essential amino acids and are recommended as part of the diet for a client with renal failure who is on a protein-restricted diet. Legumes, nuts, and vegetables do contain protein, but they are incomplete proteins and are not as good protein sources as are eggs.
