Renal DietAfter starting this project, I realized how challenging it was to plan a dialysis diet. For this project, I created a sample diet that restricted sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and fluid but still provided enough calories and protein. I quickly found out it was very difficult to stay within the restriction while providing enough calories. Also, I created handouts for a dialysis patient that contained high and low phosphorus, potassium, and sodium foods. These handouts become very helpful when I participated in a mock renal diet instruction. I enjoyed this assignment because of the challenge and how much I learned about the renal system and the body.
