The pediatric nurse is preparing a child with acute lymphocytic leukemia for discharge. The discharge plan should include all but which of the following statements?
restrict naps to allow more complete rest at night
increase intake of protein, iron, and vitamin C to provide nutrients required for hemoglobin production
keep a food diary to evaluate dietary intake
restrict antacids, tetracyclines, and phosphorous salt
Number 1 is correct.
Arranging rest periods throughout the day helps promote the client’s ability to participate in an array of desired activities. Increasing intake of protein, iron, and vitamin C aids in hemoglobin production. Keeping a food diary helps document actual nutritional intake. Restricting antacids, tetracyclines, and phosphorous salts will avert absorption of iron.
