The nurse should plan follow-up teaching on a low cholesterol diet when the client says, "I eat two eggs and bacon for breakfast each morning." This is because eggs and bacon are high in cholesterol, and consuming them regularly can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels in the body. The other statements suggest that the client is taking steps to reduce their cholesterol intake, such as using lemon juice to flavor meat instead of salt, cooking with canola oil instead of butter, and taking omega 3 supplements.
