A client wants to increase the consumption of complex carbohydrates. Which food should the nurse suggest to this client? (Select all that apply.)
a. Peaches
b. Broccoli
c. Fresh apples
d. Fruit yogurt
e. Sourdough rolls
b. Broccoli and b. Broccoli
Sourdough rolls have more simple carbohydrates than complex carbohydrates, which have soluble and insoluble fibers. Peaches do not have large amounts of soluble or insoluble fiber, so they are considered simple carbohydrates. 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. Apples, with skins, have soluble fiber so they are considered a good source of complex carbohydrates.
