    The nurse is providing lifestyle change education for a client to slow the progression of coronary artery disease. Which statements by the client should the nurse recognize as needing additional education? (Select at that apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Salt substitutes can be used in moderation to help reduce sodium intake, which is beneficial for controlling blood pressure, a key aspect of managing coronary artery disease (CAD). B. Eat more canned vegetables - Canned vegetables can be high in sodium, which is not recommended for clients with coronary artery disease as it can contribute to hypertension and further heart strain. C. Include oatmeal for breakfast - This is a recommended practice as oatmeal is high in soluble fiber, which can help lower cholesterol levels. D. Consume foods with saturated fats - Saturated fats can increase the level of bad cholesterol in the blood, contributing to the progression of coronary artery disease, thus not recommended. E. Walk 30 minutes per day - This is a recommended practice as regular physical activity can help manage weight, lower cholesterol, and reduce blood pressure.
