A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client about sources of protein. The nurse should identify which of the following foods are complete proteins?

Step 1: Convert the weight from kilograms to pounds. 70 kg × 2.2 lbs/kg = 154 lbs Result at each step = 154 lbs

Step 2: Convert the height from meters to inches. 1.1 m × 39.37 inches/m = 43.307 inches Result at each step = 43.307 inches

Step 3: Convert the height from inches to feet. 43.307 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3.609 feet Result at each step = 3.609 feet

Step 4: Calculate the BMI using the formula: BMI = weight (lbs) ÷ (height (inches))^2 × 703 BMI = 154 lbs ÷ (43.307 inches)^2 × 703 Result at each step = 154 lbs ÷ 1874.48 × 703 Result at each step = 0.0821 × 703 Result at each step = 57.7

Step 5: Round the BMI to the nearest whole number. Result at each step = 58

The client’s Body Mass Index (BMI) is 58.

Choice Areason: Graham crackers are made from wheat flour, which contains gluten. Peanut butter is a good source of fat and protein, but it may also contain traces of gluten from cross-contamination.

Choice Breason: Poached eggs are a good source of protein, but wheat bagel contains gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten can damage the small intestine and cause malabsorption, diarrhea, and abdominal pain in people with celiac disease.

Choice C reason: Rice cereal is gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates. Sliced bananas are gluten-free and a good source of potassium, fiber, and vitamin C.

Choice D reason: Rye toast contains gluten, which can harm people with celiac disease. Herbal tea is gluten-free and can help with hydration, but it does not provide enough calories or nutrients.
