Which of the following foods would the nurse suggest for a client who wants to increase consumption of complex carbohydrates? Select all that apply
1. Sourdough rolls
2. Peaches
3. Broccoli
4. Fruit yogurt
5. Fresh apples
3, Broccoli; 5, Fresh apples
Rationale: Sourdough rolls have more simple carbohydrates than complex carbohydrates, which have soluble and insoluble fibers, so the nurse would not make this suggestion. Peaches do not have large amounts of soluble or insoluble fiber so they are considered simple carbohydrates; therefore the nurse would not make this suggestion. Broccoli contains soluble and insoluble fibers that move slowly through the intestines and cannot be easily digested, so this is a good example of a complex carbohydrate. Yogurt may be plain or have some fruit added, but it is composed of simple carbohydrates which do not have soluble or insoluble fiber; therefore the nurse would not suggest this as a good source of complex carbohydrates. Apples, with skins, have soluble fiber so they are considered a good source of complex carbohydrates.
