How would a two-gram sodium diet appear on a diet order?

  1. 2 mg Na

  2. 2 gr Na

  3. 2 g Na

  4. 2 ml Na

The correct answer is: 2 gr Na

A sodium diet is typically measured in grams (g) rather than milligrams (mg) or milliliters (ml). In this case, a two-gram sodium diet would appear on a diet order as "2 gr Na." The abbreviation "gr" represents grams, which is the appropriate unit of measurement for sodium in this context.
