The nurse is assisting a client to select a meal that is high in carbohydrates. The nurse concludes that the client understands recommendations when the client selects:
1. chicken salad, milk, and an apple.
2. peanut butter and jelly on white bread.
3. egg salad on whole wheat toast, milk, and pears.
4. fried chicken, cookies, and a soda.
Answer: 3
1. Milk and apple contain simple carbohydrates, and chicken contains protein. The client needs to choose complex carbohydrates as well.
2. White bread is not a good source of complex carbohydrates; whole wheat bread is.
3. Whole wheat toast, milk, and pears offer high-quality complex and simple carbohydrates, and are a good choice.
4. Fried chicken is high in fat and, if coated with flour, offers very little good carbohydrate. Cookies contain sugar, which is a simple carbohydrate and not a good choice.
