【 摘 要 】

Many patients are unaware of the amount of sodium there is in the processed foods they eat and are misled by claims of “lower” or “reduced” sodium on the food label. Family members must be included in the education, especially if they are responsible for shopping for or preparing food for the patient. Attention must be paid to the patient's cultural background and to specific food preferences. A referral to a registered dietitian can be very helpful in teaching patients to make healthy low sodium food choices. Use the “teach-back” method to ascertain what the patient understands about his or her diet, correct any misconceptions or gaps in knowledge, and evaluate adherence to dietary recommendations.
