A lactating 32-year-old woman has a 3-day sodium record: 2100 mg, 2400 mg, 2600 mg. Calculate the 3-day average and analyze the result relative to the sodium CDRR threshold of 2300 mg/day. Provide numerical average and interpretation.

• A. Average 3,300 mg/day; significantly above recommended limits requiring immediate medical intervention.
• B. Average 2,100 mg/day; within safe limits and no dietary sodium changes recommended.
• C. Average 2,367 mg/day; exceeds the CDRR of 2300 mg/day and indicates increased risk of hypertension—recommend reducing sodium.
• D. Average 2,500 mg/day; still below the UL for sodium so no action is required.

Answer: (C)
