What would be the best menu change for a client following a low-sodium (Na) diet?

  1. Adding bacon to the meal

  2. Adding cheese to the salad

  3. Substitute roast beef for baked ham

  4. Serve processed foods

The correct answer is: Substitute roast beef for baked ham

By adding bacon or cheese, you would be increasing the sodium content of the meal, which is not recommended for someone following a low-sodium diet. Processed foods also tend to contain high levels of sodium and should be avoided. By substituting roast beef for baked ham, the client can still have a protein option, but with a lower sodium content. This change is in line with a low-sodium diet and maintains the nutritional value of the meal.
