Question: A nurse is teaching a community group about a low-fat, low-sodium diet. Which menu choices would be appropriate? (Select all that apply.)
1. Fresh fruit platter with a glass of skim milk
2. Tuna salad with mayonnaise dressing and saltine crackers
3.Cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato, and french fries
4. Ham and cheese sandwich on white bread, and chicken soup
5. Baked chicken without the skin, rice, and steamed asparagus
Rationale: Rationale: Baked chicken without the skin, rice, and fresh asparagus are lowest in fat and salt content, as are fruit and skim milk. Mayonnaise and saltine crackers (2), a cheeseburger with french fries (3), and a ham and cheese sandwich with chicken soup (4), do not meet low-sodium, low-fat requirements.
