A nurse is teaching a client how to use the information on food labels to facilitate a healthy diet
The nurse has shown the client the label on a can of condensed soup, which states that a serving of the soup contains 46% of the daily value of sodium. What conclusion should the client draw from this information? A) 54% of the volume of the soup consists of nutrients other than sodium.
B) The client would need to supplement a serving of the soup with additional sodium in order to make it more nutritious.
C) A bowl of this soup contains nearly half of the sodium that the client should consume during a day.
D) Most comparable brands of soup contain 54% more sodium than this brand of soup.
C
Feedback:
A serving of this soup represents 46% of the total amount of sodium that client should consume during an entire day; this is a high-sodium food. This information does not compare this soup to alternative brands and it does not indicate that 54% of the volume of the soup consists of nutrients other than sodium.
