You are doing discharge teaching with a patient who has hypophosphatemia during his time in hospital. The patient has a diet ordered that is high in phosphate. What foods would you teach this patient to include in his diet? Select all that do not apply

The correct answer is B: Beef. While beef is a good source of protein, it is not high in phosphate. Milk, poultry, and liver are high in phosphate and would be beneficial for a patient with hypophosphatemia. Beef is not typically a significant source of phosphate and therefore would not be as effective in increasing phosphate levels in the body compared to the other options. It is important for the patient to focus on consuming foods that are high in phosphate to help correct the hypophosphatemia.
