    Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam
    Select All That Apply

    During discharge teaching, an overweight client with heart failure (HF) is asked to make a grocery list for the nurse to review. What food choice(s) included on the client's list should the nurse encourage? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Plain, air-popped popcorn is a low-calorie, low-sodium snack that is suitable for clients with heart failure. B. Cheddar cheese cubes are high in fat and sodium, which is not ideal for heart failure management. C. Lightly salted potato chips still contain significant sodium, which should be limited in heart failure diets. D. Natural whole almonds are a good source of healthy fats and protein, making them a suitable option. E. Canned fruit in heavy syrup contains added sugars and unnecessary calories, which should be avoided.
