    A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has chronic kidney disease (CKD).The nurse should instruct the client to limit which of the following nutrients? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale:A. Protein intake should be limited in clients with CKD to reduce the burden on the kidneys, as excessive protein can accelerate kidney damage.B. Caloric intake typically needs to be adequate to meet energy requirements, not necessarily limited unless advised by a healthcare provider based on specific health needs.C. Sodium intake should be restricted to prevent fluid retention and hypertension, which can worsen kidney function.D. Phosphorous should be limited to avoid hyperphosphatemia, which can lead to bone and cardiovascular problems in CKD patients.E. Calcium intake is usually maintained or adjusted carefully, rather than broadly limited, to manage bone health and prevent complications associated with CKD.
