Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse’s priority for immediate intervention is tachypnea, which is rapid breathing.
Tachypnea can be a sign of respiratory distress and requires immediate intervention.
Choice A is wrong because while a fever may indicate an infection, it is not the priority for immediate intervention.
Choice B is wrong because while blood-tinged secretions may indicate bleeding, it is not the priority for immediate intervention.
Choice D is wrong because while IV infiltration may cause discomfort and require attention, it is not the priority for immediate intervention.

A. 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt. B. 1 medium baked potato with skin. C. 2 tbsp peanut butter. D. 1 cup white rice.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

White rice is a low-potassium food that can be recommended for a client who has chronic kidney disease and must limit potassium intake.
Nonfat yogurt (choice A) contains moderate amounts of potassium and may not be the best choice for someone who needs to limit their potassium intake.
A medium baked potato with skin (choice B) is high in potassium and should be limited to a low-potassium diet.
Peanut butter (choice C) also contains moderate amounts of potassium and may not be the best choice for someone who needs to limit their potassium intake.
