The nurse is teaching a newly diagnosed diabetic about appropriate serving sizes for foods. Which estimate for a single serving of meat will the nurse include in the teaching session?
1. One cup.
2. Size of a balled fist.
3. Five ounces.
4. Three ounces.
Correct Answer: 4
The recommended portion size for animal proteins is 3 ounces, which can be correctly estimated by comparing to the size of a deck of cards. The size of a balled fist may vary, so this is not a good indicator. Five ounces exceeds the recommend amount for protein intake during a single serving.
