A patient is experiencing carbon dioxide retention from lung problems. Which type of diet will the nurse most likely suggest for this patient?

Moderate-carbohydrate

Low-caffeine

High-carbohydrate

High-caffeine

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. A moderate-carbohydrate diet is recommended because carbohydrates increase CO₂ production during metabolism, and limiting excessive carbohydrate intake can help manage CO₂ retention in patients with respiratory issues.
B. Low-caffeine is not directly related to CO₂ retention and does not influence carbon dioxide levels in the body.
C. High-carbohydrate intake can exacerbate CO₂ production, worsening retention issues in patients with compromised lung function.
D. High-caffeine intake is not related to CO₂ retention management and would not impact CO₂ levels in the respiratory system.

B. This sequence incorrectly places the left atrium before the right ventricle, which is not the correct flow of blood.
C. This sequence starts incorrectly with the right ventricle, skipping the left atrium entirely after blood is oxygenated.
D. This option also incorrectly starts with the right ventricle and does not include the proper sequence of blood flow.
