After leaving the PCP, the client told the nurse that eating in moderation was recommended. He then asked the nurse what it means to eat in moderation. Her best reply would be:
1. "Eating in moderation means to many different foods.".
2. "Eating in moderation means that you don't include extra portions at meal time.".
3. "Eating in moderation means eating foods low in fat, cholesterol, and sugar, and only occasionally eating large amounts of these foods.".
4. "Eating in moderation means primarily eating large portions of fruits and vegetables.".
3
Rationale: Eating in moderation means eating foods low in fat, cholesterol, and sugar, and only occasionally eating large amounts of these foods. Eating many different foods provides a diverse diet. Not including extra portions at meals is a means of limiting the caloric intake, but refers to the amount not the quality of food consumed. Eating primarily large portions of fruits and vegetables does not refer to a balanced diet eaten in moderation.
