A patient with Addison’s disease seeks nutrition and diet guidance. Which dietary modification should be avoided?
Correct Incorrect A patient with Addison’s disease needs to maintain normal sodium intake to prevent excessive fluid loss. They should follow a diet with no restrictions on sodium. Those with primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) require adequate access to salt due to salt-wasting that occurs if left untreated.
