"I can drink wine in moderation."

"I will limit my intake of eggs."

"I will limit my intake of red meat to two times per week."

"I should cook with olive oil."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. "I can drink wine in moderation." Moderate wine consumption (particularly red wine) is often considered acceptable as part of the Mediterranean diet. This statement does not indicate a need for further teaching.

B. "I will limit my intake of eggs." Eggs can be consumed in moderation on the Mediterranean diet, typically no more than a few times a week. This statement reflects an understanding of the diet and does not indicate a need for further teaching.

C. "I will limit my intake of red meat to two times per week." The Mediterranean diet recommends limiting red meat consumption, but typically to less than two times per week. This statement indicates a need for further teaching as it suggests a higher frequency than recommended.

D. "I should cook with olive oil." Olive oil is a key component of the Mediterranean diet, replacing butter and other fats. This statement reflects correct understanding and does not indicate a need for further teaching.

A. "I can eat frozen juice bars for a snack." B. "I can have a cola drink twice a day." C. "I will replace table salt with dried herbs." D. "Fresh fruits are good to include with meals."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "I can eat frozen juice bars for a snack." Frozen juice bars are generally low in sodium and are a healthy snack option for clients with hypertension. This choice is acceptable as long as they are made from 100% juice and do not contain added sugars or sodium.

B. "I can have a cola drink twice a day." Cola drinks contain caffeine, sugar, and sometimes sodium, which can increase blood pressure. Clients with hypertension should limit their intake of sugary or caffeinated drinks. This statement indicates a need for further teaching.

C. "I will replace table salt with dried herbs." Replacing table salt with dried herbs is a good practice to reduce sodium intake, which can help manage hypertension. This statement does not indicate a need for further teaching.

D. "Fresh fruits are good to include with meals." Fresh fruits are low in sodium and rich in potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure. This is a good dietary choice for clients with hypertension and does not indicate a need for further teaching.
