The dietary modification that is most likely to help increase hemoglobin levels in these clients is by ensuring adequate intake of meat, fish, poultry, and legumes.

Explanation;
Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in the red blood cells. The normal ranges for hemoglobin depend on the age and, beginning in adolescence, the sex of the person.
