Choice A: Avoid salt substitutes.

The nurse should teach the client to use herbs, spices, or lemon juice to flavor food instead of salt or salt substitutes.Choice B: Consume canned vegetables. This client needs additional education, as canned vegetables may contain sodium, which can increase the blood pressure and worsen coronary artery disease. The nurse should teach the client to choose fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned ones.Choice C: Include oatmeal for breakfast. This client does not need additional education, as oatmeal is a good source of soluble fiber, which can lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. The nurse should praise the client for this healthy choice.Choice D: Identify foods with saturated fats. This client does not need additional education, as identifying foods with saturated fats is an important step to avoid them.
