A nurse is providing discharge planning for a young adult client who is postoperative following a myringotomy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the discharge planning?

A) "I can add lean turkey to a salad.": Lean turkey is a good source of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body compared to non-heme iron found in plant-based sources. Including iron-rich foods like lean turkey in the diet helps address iron-deficiency anemia effectively.

B) "I should choose apples over strawberries.": Apples are not particularly high in iron compared to strawberries. While apples provide some nutrients, strawberries contain more vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption from other foods.

C) "I can take an iron supplement with milk to enhance the effect.": Milk and other dairy products can inhibit iron absorption due to their calcium content. It is recommended to take iron supplements with vitamin C-rich beverages like orange juice to enhance absorption.

D) "I should consume coffee or tea with my meals.": Coffee and tea contain compounds like polyphenols that can inhibit iron absorption when consumed with meals. It's better to avoid these beverages around meal times to improve iron absorption.

A) Decreased magnesium level: Primary aldosteronism typically affects sodium and potassium balance, but it is less likely to cause significant changes in magnesium levels. Therefore, a decreased magnesium level is not the expected electrolyte imbalance in this condition.

B) Decreased total calcium level: Primary aldosteronism does not primarily affect calcium metabolism. While calcium levels could be influenced indirectly, they are not a primary concern in this disorder. Hence, a decreased total calcium level is not expected.

C) Elevated phosphate level: Phosphate levels are generally not directly influenced by aldosterone. Elevated phosphate levels might be seen in other conditions, but they are not characteristic of primary aldosteronism.

D) Elevated sodium level: Primary aldosteronism leads to excess production of aldosterone, which promotes sodium retention by the kidneys. This retention causes elevated sodium levels, resulting in hypernatremia, and contributes to symptoms like frequent urination due to the body's attempt to excrete excess sodium through increased urine production.
