A client with a history of heart failure is prescribed a 2-gram sodium diet. Which food choice by the client indicates understanding of the dietary restrictions?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Fresh baked chicken and steamed vegetables are generally low in sodium, making them appropriate for a 2-gram sodium diet. Canned soups, smoked meats/fish, and frozen processed foods are typically very high in sodium and should be avoided by clients with heart failure.
