The answer is the first one: "Consume a low-protein diet."

Explanation for each option:

  1. "Consume a low-protein diet" - This statement is NOT TRUE concerning a diet for a patient with hypokalemia. Protein intake is not directly related to potassium levels, and a low-protein diet does not help in increasing potassium intake. In fact, some protein-rich foods, like meat, can be good sources of potassium.

  2. "Consume more bananas and meat" - This statement is true. Bananas are well-known for their high potassium content, and certain meats also contain potassium, making them beneficial for someone looking to increase their potassium intake.

  3. "Consume more orange juice" - This statement is true. Orange juice is a good source of potassium and can help increase potassium levels in the diet.

  4. "Add dried fruits to your diet" - This statement is true. Dried fruits, such as apricots, raisins, and prunes, are high in potassium and can be a good addition to a diet aimed at increasing potassium intake.

In summary, the statement "Consume a low-protein diet" is not relevant to increasing potassium intake and is therefore not true in the context of a diet for a patient with hypokalemia.
