The correct answer to this would be:
Include in the plan of care to “limit foods that are high in sodium”.
Sodium and liquid retention disrupts the fragile balance
between the endolymph and perilymph in the inner ear. Therefore, a lot of
patients with Meniere’s disease can control their symptoms by sticking to a low
sodium diet. Caffeinated drinks are also to be avoided due to their diuretic
effect. Diuretics and not antihistamines would be given to lower the pressure
in the endolymphatic system. Foods rich in potassium would be encouraged if the
client is given a diuretic that causes potassium loss.
