Your patient Celeste suffers from arthritic gout.  You put her on a low purine diet, eliminating which foods from her diet?

  1. Eggs, cheese, peanut butter
  2. Sardines, beer, organ meats
  3. Carrots, tomatoes, corn
  4. Bread, crackers, cold cereal
Explanation

Answer: B - Examples of foods avoided on a low-purine diet are sardines, alcohol, and organ meats. These foods are high in purine and are eliminated in the treatment of gout, caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. Gout is less common in women than men, but cases have been more common in recent years.
