Mrs. M has had an episode of kidney stones in the past. At that time she was told that her stones were calcium oxalate. The nurse should advise her to avoid:
1. Chocolate.
2. Ice cream.
3. Oranges.
4. Broccoli.
1
Rationale: Chocolate should be limited in the diet of clients who have had calcium oxalate stones since it has a high oxylate content. Dairy products such as milk, ice cream, and yogurt bind to oxylate in the intestine and prevent its absorption. Oranges and broccoli have high potassium content but do not affect calcium oxalate calculi formation.
