مريض عنده نوبة نقرس حادة في إصبع القدم الكبير. أي أطعمة تنصحه الممرضة بتجنبها؟

A client has an acute gout attack in his big toe. Which foods does the nurse advise him to avoid?

1. Low-fat milk and yogurt
2. Liver, kidneys and sardines
3. Eggs and cheese
4. Cherries and most fruits

Answer: B) Liver, kidneys and sardines. Organ meats like liver and kidney and some fish like sardines and anchovies are high in purines and raise uric acid. Low-fat dairy and cherries may protect against attacks, and eggs and cheese are low in purines.
