The nurse is instructing a patient newly diagnosed with celiac disease. The nurse knows follow-up is needed when the patient identifies which foods as appropriate choices?
1. spinach salad and corn
2. beefsteak and green beans
3. whole-wheat toast and baked chicken
4. apple slices and tuna salad
Correct Answer: 3
Whole-wheat toast is not a healthful choice for this patient. If people with celiac disease eat certain types of proteins (glutens, found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats), an autoimmune response causes damage to the small intestine, and nutrients are not absorbed. The remaining menu choices do not contain gluten and are healthy choices for this patient.
