    A nurse provides prevention strategies to a group of clients who are identified as at risk for hypertension. Which strategies should the nurse include? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Increase consumption of dairy products: While dairy products can be part of a balanced diet, increasing consumption without consideration of fat content or sodium is not specifically a preventive strategy for hypertension. B. Choose foods like bananas and sweet potatoes: Foods rich in potassium, such as bananas and sweet potatoes, can help manage blood pressure by balancing sodium levels. C. Consume two to three glasses of red wine daily: Excessive alcohol consumption can raise blood pressure, so this is not a recommended strategy for hypertension prevention. D. Use a low sodium seasoning to flavor food: Reducing sodium intake is crucial in managing and preventing hypertension, so using low sodium seasonings is a beneficial strategy. E. Walk briskly 30 minutes per day: Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, is an effective way to help manage and prevent hypertension.
