The nurse is teaching dietary modifications to a client with hypertension. Which product is the best selection to include as part of the client's lunch?

RationaleA. Dill pickles and black olives are typically high in sodium due to the pickling process. High sodium intake can exacerbate hypertension by increasing fluid retention and raising blood pressure.B. Canned chicken broth often contains a high amount of sodium unless it is specifically labeled as low sodium or reduced sodium. Barley itself is a nutritious whole grain, but the sodium content in canned broth might counterbalance its benefits.C. Tomato juice can be a good choice for someone with hypertension as long as it is low in sodium or sodium-free. Tomatoes are rich in potassium and other nutrients beneficial for heart health. Gluten-free crackers can be a healthy addition if they are low in sodium and made from whole grains.D. Sweet potatoes are a nutrient-dense food high in potassium, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. They are naturally low in sodium and are considered heart-healthy due to their potassium content, which helps counteract the effects of sodium on blood pressure.
