💊 NCLEX-RN Exam Prep

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

A Canned chicken noodle soup
B Smoked turkey sandwich on white bread
C Fresh baked salmon with steamed vegetables
D Pickled cucumbers as a snack

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Fresh fish and steamed vegetables are naturally low in sodium. Canned soups, smoked meats, and pickled foods are typically very high in sodium and should be avoided on a 2-gram sodium diet.
