A school-age client is hypokalemic. The nurse is helping the client complete her menu. Which food selection will the nurse encourage for this client?
1. A hamburger with French fries
2. Pizza with a fruit plate
3. Chicken strips with chips
4. A fajita with rice
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Pizza with the fruit plate should be encouraged because fruits (bananas, apricots, cantaloupe, cherries, peaches, and strawberries) have high amounts of potassium, and a child is likely to eat this combination.
