A nurse is teaching a client about the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. The nurse should instruct the client that the majority of daily servings will come from which of the following food groups?

A. While the DASH diet emphasizes 2–3 servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods daily to provide calcium and protein, dairy is not the primary source of daily servings. It complements the diet but does not make up the majority. B. The DASH diet emphasizes a high intake of grains, particularly whole grains, making them the largest source of daily servings. Grains provide essential carbohydrates, fiber, and nutrients, and the diet typically recommends 6–8 servings per day, more than any other food group. C. Lean meats, poultry, and fish are included in the DASH diet to provide protein, but they are recommended in moderate amounts (2 or fewer servings per day). They do not constitute the majority of daily servings.
