Which food should a nurse recommend as the best source of potassium for a client taking furosemide?

  1. Bananas

  2. White rice

  3. Chicken breast

  4. Apples

The correct answer is: Bananas

Food that is high in potassium can help replace the electrolytes that furosemide removes from the body. Bananas are a great source of potassium and should be recommended to the client. White rice and chicken breast are not high in potassium and would not provide sufficient levels needed for the client. Apples are a good source of fiber and some vitamins, but they are not high in potassium. Therefore, out of the options provided, bananas are the best source of potassium for a client taking furosemide.
