A Correct. Certain foods may be irritants to the bladder and increase a child's wetting problems. Eliminating foods or beverages that are known irritants may decrease the number of wetting episodes. Foods to eliminate include carbonated beverages, dairy products, beverages with artificial colorings, citric fruit, heavily sugared foods, and beverages with caffeine. Five to 10% of children who wet benefit from these changes.
B Incorrect. Reducing the amount of carbohydrate and protein in the diet would not be the path recommended by the nurse.
C Incorrect. Reducing salt and fluid intake as well as reduce foods high in potassium would not be the path recommended by the nurse.
D Incorrect. Decreasing intake of foods high in cholesterol, magnesium, and zinc would not be the path recommended by the nurse.
