A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has an electrolyte imbalance. Which of the following foods should the nurse include as the highest in sodium?

Rationale: A. Orange juice: Orange juice contains minimal sodium and is typically recommended for clients needing low-sodium, high-potassium diets. It is not considered a significant source of sodium. B. Canned green beans: Canned vegetables often contain added salt as a preservative, making them high in sodium. Unless labeled as low-sodium or no-salt-added, canned green beans are among the higher sodium food options. C. Sweet potato: Sweet potatoes are naturally low in sodium and are more commonly recognized for their potassium and fiber content. They are suitable for low-sodium diets. D. Cantaloupe: Cantaloupe is a low-sodium fruit, valued for its high water and potassium content. It is not a source of concern for clients with sodium restriction or imbalance.
