The nurse instructs a client about complementary proteins. Which client statement indicates that additional teaching is needed? (Select all that apply.)

a. "Eggs are the best source of complementary protein."
b. "I should eat a combination of meat and plant protein each day."
c. "Many vegetarians use complementary proteins to meet protein needs."
d. "If I use combinations of incomplete proteins I will have the amino acids I need."
e. "Using complementary proteins is another way to figure out how to get adequate protein."


a. "Eggs are the best source of complementary protein." and b. "I should eat a combination of meat and plant protein

Meat contains complete proteins so do not need to be complemented with other sources of protein to ensure adequate intake of essential amino acids. In response to the client's statement that a combination of meat and protein should be consumed daily, the nurse would need to reinforce the difference between sources of complete and incomplete protein. Eggs contain complete protein so do not need to be complemented with other sources of protein to ensure adequate intake of essential amino acids. The nurse would need to reinforce the difference between sources of complete and incomplete protein. Combinations of incomplete proteins consumed over the course of a day can insure adequate protein intake by the combining of amino acids. Many vegetarians skillfully and creatively combine incomplete proteins to meet dietary needs. It is not necessary to consume complete proteins to meet dietary needs, so complementary proteins are another method to ensure adequate protein intake over the course of a day.
