Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sitting and standing up slowly can prevent postural hypotension and falls, which can occur due to volume depletion from diuretic therapy. Adding more bulk to the diet or limiting fluid intake may help in certain conditions but may not specifically address volume depletion. Eating cantaloupe or bananas more frequently does not prevent the effects of volume depletion.
