Final answer:

The client should limit foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol to prevent cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer. Specifically, they should limit intake of butter, deep-fried cod, and consume wine moderately.

Step-by-step explanation:

A client who wants to prevent cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer should be aware of certain dietary choices. The nurse should recommend limiting foods that are high in saturated fats, processed and high in cholesterol. Within the provided options, one should thus limit intake of: B. Butter, which is high in saturated fats; and D. Deep-fried cod, as deep-frying introduces significant amounts of fats and calories, potentially contributing to obesity and cardiovascular disease.

Additionally, while not harmful in moderation, F. Wine should be consumed with caution due to its alcohol content, which when overconsumed can increase cancer risk.

The other foods listed, such as tomatoes, spinach, oranges, and grilled chicken, are generally associated with a healthy diet rich in nutrients and are not typically foods to avoid in the context of preventing the diseases mentioned.
