    A nurse is providing nutrition teaching for a client who has hypertension. Which of the following foods should the nurse suggest the client include in their diet?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Turkey is a lean protein low in sodium and saturated fat, making it appropriate for clients with hypertension. Black tea contains caffeine, which can temporarily raise blood pressure. Red meat is high in saturated fat and sodium, contributing to cardiovascular disease. Pizza is typically high in sodium and saturated fat, worsening hypertension.
