The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client with meniere's disease and identifies a nursing diagnosis of excess fluid volume related to fluid retention in the inner ear. which intervention would be most appropriate to include in the plan of care

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.
