High-sodium foods include pickled vegetables, canned soups, and processed meats. Fresh spi-nach, whole-grain pasta, and grapefruit are appropriate low-sodium choices.

It is also important to assess for risk behaviors such as intravenous drug use, multiple sexual partners, exposure to HIV, immu-nosuppressive drug therapy, alcohol consumption, and family history of genetic immune disord-ers.
