The nurse is providing health promotion teaching for the 22-year-old patient with phenylketonuria. Which food, if selected by the patient, prompts the nurse to intervene?  

Incorrect

  • Diet cola
  • Bourbon
  • Movie theater popcorn
  • Pound cake with strawberries

Rationale

Diet cola contains aspartame, which must be limited in the patient with phenylketonuria. Bourbon, popcorn, and pound cake with strawberries are not high-protein foods that are dangerous for the patient with phenylketonuria, so these are acceptable.
