ADH ______ causes reabsorption of water alone.
Aldosterone _______ causes reabsorption of sodium, thus water follows too.
True T or F: Avoid giving renal patients potassium (organ meats, fish, dried fruits, milk, dark green veggies, salt sub), phosphorus (dried beans, yogurt, cheese), protein (calc based on body weight rt dialysis status), sodium (processed/fast food, pickles)
