A nurse is providing education to a client who has experienced recurrent kidney stones. The client asks, "What can I do to prevent future kidney stones?" What is the nurse's best response?


Correct Answer: D

A) Avoiding all dairy products is not a recommended prevention strategy for kidney stones. In fact, adequate dietary calcium may be beneficial for reducing the risk of certain types of stones.

B) Increasing dietary calcium intake, especially from food sources, may help prevent certain types of kidney stones, such as calcium oxalate stones.

C) Reducing fluid intake is not a recommended prevention strategy for kidney stones. Inadequate hydration can actually increase the risk of stone formation.
