Practice Question

For a child with acute glomerulonephritis on a potassium-restricted diet, which fruit is appropriate to include?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Blueberries

Rationale:

💁‍♂️Blueberries are low in potassium, making them suitable for a child with glomerulonephritis, where potassium levels need to be strictly controlled.

🍌Fruits like raisins, cantaloupe, and apricots are high in potassium and should be avoided in this dietary restriction.

🩺In renal conditions, excess potassium can lead to cardiac arrhythmias or muscle weakness, so dietary education is vital.

📊Blueberries offer antioxidants and nutrients without elevating potassium, supporting both nutrition and renal safety.

📌Core Message

Children with glomerulonephritis need low-potassium foods like blueberries to prevent electrolyte imbalance.
