The client states that a friend had developed dehydration during a long-distance race. The client wants to know how to adequately prevent dehydration and hyponatremia when running long distances.
 
  Which of the following is the nurse's best response? 1. You should drink at every opportunity during the race.. 2. Avoid ingesting salty foods on the day of the race.. 3. Focus on increasing your consumption of potassium-rich foods during the race.. 4. Liberally salt your food and drink just to maintain your weight during the race..

4 Rationale: This client can prepare for the long-distance race by routinely eating foods with a liberal amount of salt. The diet should include fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and whole grains. People who drink to gain fluid weight during races have a higher risk of developing hyponatremia. Potassium rich foods ingestion can help prevent hypokalemia but will not help prevent dehydration and hyponatremia.
