Question 5 of 5
An African-American male is discussing his dietary intake with the nurse. The nurse encourages the client to keep sodium intake below 1,500 mg per day. The client reports he does not have any known risk for the development of hypertension and feels this is too restrictive. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After generations of conditioning, African-Americans frequently have higher sodium levels.

The amount of salt ingested should be recorded, but this is not the best response.
