Problem 4
A student records daily sodium intake: breakfast 800 mg, lunch 900 mg, dinner 700 mg, snacks 150 mg. Does this day exceed the sodium CDRR of 2300 mg and by how much?
A
No — even though intake was above 2,300 mg on some meals, the average hourly sodium intake remains within safe limits because meal timing matters more than total amount.
B
No — the total is 2,150 mg, which is 150 mg below the CDRR.
C
Yes — the total is 3,050 mg, exceeding the CDRR by 750 mg, and requires immediate medical salt restriction intervention.
D
Yes — the total is 2,550 mg, exceeding the CDRR by 250 mg.
