Hi all,What would you make of this question?
In doing diet teaching for the client with congestive heart failure, which of the following foods should you tell them to avoid?
a. cooked cereal
b. catsup
c. sherbet
d. green leafy vegetables
It was on a recent test and I had no clue and wanted to get your feedback. We do not get our tests back, just the grades, so I don't know if I got it right or not, or what the right answer is- just wondering your thoughts.
Thanks! :)
I would pick B. Catsup because of the sodium content.

At first I thought, of course it's B b/c that's just filled w/sugar.
But, nooo, it's D! You can't have Vitamin K, you can't have any green vegies. My grandmother had a miinor heart attack recently, and this has been an issue everytime we go out, she's always complaining that she can't have a salad. I'm not sure what medication she's on, it's a common drug..can't think of the name, a blood thinner I guess. Actually, you can have a tiny amount of it, but it has to be consistent. So, that's something you will definetely have to teach your patient.
