A client asks the nurse how to avoid trans fats. The nurse replies that most trans fats can be avoided by limiting intake of:
1. Eggs.
2. Donuts.
3. Baked fish.
4. Barbequed pork.
2
Rationale: Trans fats are created when polyunsaturated fats are hydrogenated; therefore they are present when hydrogenated fats are used in the cooking process. Donuts are fried, often in partially hydrogenated fats, so they should be avoided. Eggs, fish, and pork are not significant sources of trans fats.
