A nurse is caring for a patient who has poor tissue perfusion as the result of hypertension. When the patient asks what he should eat for breakfast, what should the nurse recommend?
a. A bowl of cereal with whole milk and a banana
b. A cup of nonfat yogurt with granola, and a handful of dried apricots
c. Whole wheat toast with butter, a side of cottage cheese
d. Omelet with sausage, cheese, and onions
B
Diets high in potassium, fiber, and calcium and low in fat are best for someone who is managing hypertension. Nonfat yogurt with granola is a good source of calcium, fiber, and potassium; dried apricots add a second source of potassium. Although cereal and a banana provide fiber and potassium, skim milk should be substituted for whole milk to decrease fat. An omelet with sausage and cheese is high in fat. Butter is high in fat.
