A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching to a client who is at risk for osteoporosis about increasing her calcium intake. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend the client consume frequently?

Choice A rationale
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, not the overproduction of insulin. Over time, the pancreas may produce less insulin, but the primary issue is the body’s inability to use insulin effectively.

Choice B rationale
Type 2 diabetes involves the body’s inability to process glucose properly due to insulin resistance. This leads to elevated blood glucose levels and various complications if not managed effectively.
Choice C rationale
Hemoglobin binding to sugar is related to the measurement of HbA1c, which reflects average blood glucose levels over time. It is not a cause of type 2 diabetes.
Choice D rationale
The destruction of pancreatic cells is a characteristic of type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition. Type 2 diabetes is primarily due to insulin resistance and is not caused by an autoimmune response.

Choice A rationale
Urine specific gravity of 1.020 is within the normal range (1.005 to 1.030). This indicates that the urine concentration is normal and does not suggest any abnormality that needs to be reported.
Choice B rationale
Microscopic hematuria refers to the presence of red blood cells in the urine, which is not visible to the naked eye. This finding can indicate a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other renal pathology and should be reported to the provider for further evaluation.
Choice C rationale
Amber yellow urine color is considered normal and does not indicate any pathology. The color of urine can vary depending on hydration status and does not necessarily indicate a problem.
Choice D rationale

The absence of glucose in the urine is a normal finding. The presence of glucose in the urine would indicate glycosuria, which is often associated with diabetes mellitus.
