A nurse is assessing four female patients for obesity. Which of the following assessments indicate obesity?

A. Most of my calories each day should be from fats: Fats are calorie-dense and important, but recommendations for people with diabetes favor moderate fat intake (and emphasis on healthy fats), not the largest proportion of calories.
B. Simple sugars are needed more than other calorie sources: Simple sugars cause rapid blood glucose rises and should be limited in diabetes -they should not be the main calorie source.
C. I should eat more calories from complex carbohydrates than anything else: Complex carbohydrates and whole grains (with fiber) provide steady glucose release and are generally recommended as the primary energy source for many diabetic meal plans.
D. Protein should be my main source of calories: Protein is essential for tissue repair and satiety but is not the preferred main energy source; excessive protein can be harmful in kidney disease.

A. The client should drink two glasses of water each day: Two glasses is inadequate -adequate daily fluid intake (often ~6–8 glasses unless contraindicated) is recommended to help fiber work and prevent constipation.
B. The client should be taught that the goal of therapy is to have a bowel movement daily: The goal is regular, comfortable bowel habits and prevention of straining; daily BM may not be necessary or realistic for everyone.
C. The client should follow a high-fiber diet to establish bowel regularity: Dietary fiber increases stool bulk and promotes regularity; increasing soluble and insoluble fiber (gradually) is a cornerstone of constipation management.
D. The client should try to take in all of the required dietary fiber with the morning meal: Fiber should be distributed across meals; taking all fiber at once can cause bloating and discomfort.
