Transcript text: A nurse is educating a client who is experiencing sleep disturbances and desires to decrease caffeine intake. Which of the following beverages should the nurse recommend?
Lemon-lime soda
Brewed iced tea
Diet cola
Chocolate milk
Solution
The answer is the first one: Lemon-lime soda.
Explanation for each option:
Lemon-lime soda: This beverage typically does not contain caffeine, making it a suitable recommendation for someone looking to decrease their caffeine intake.
Brewed iced tea: Most brewed iced teas contain caffeine, which would not be suitable for someone trying to reduce their caffeine consumption.
Diet cola: Diet colas generally contain caffeine, so this would not be an appropriate recommendation for reducing caffeine intake.
Chocolate milk: While chocolate milk contains less caffeine than brewed iced tea or diet cola, it still contains some caffeine due to the presence of cocoa. Therefore, it is not the best option for someone looking to significantly decrease their caffeine intake.
Summary:
The nurse should recommend lemon-lime soda to the client experiencing sleep disturbances and wishing to decrease caffeine intake, as it typically does not contain caffeine.
