A nurse is working with a client to help them increase dietary fiber in their diet. The nurse should suggest which of the following foods that are a good source of fiber.

A. Avoiding all sources of carbohydrates, including fruits and whole grains
Carbohydrates are essential for energy, and fruits and whole grains offer fiber and nutrients. Avoiding them entirely is not necessary and can be harmful.

B. Consuming a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet to reduce insulin production
High-fat diets can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and do not necessarily prevent diabetes unless under medical guidance.

C. Increasing intake of sugar-free processed snacks and beverages
Many sugar-free snacks still contain unhealthy additives or refined carbohydrates. Focus should be on whole, nutrient-dense foods.

D. Engaging in regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy body weight
Exercise and healthy weight management improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

A. "Offer more fruit juice instead of soda to reduce added sugars.”
Fruit juice also contains high levels of natural sugars and offers little advantage over soda in large quantities.

B. "Read ingredient labels and choose foods labeled no high-fructose corn syrup or those with natural sweeteners."
Label reading helps reduce intake of high-fructose corn syrup, especially in processed foods.

C. “High-fructose corn syrup is not harmful in small amounts, so no dietary changes are needed.”
This minimizes the long-term risk of excess sugar intake, especially in children.

D. "Only buy sugar-free products, regardless of other ingredients.”
Sugar-free does not always mean healthy; some may contain harmful additives or lack nutritional value.
