The nurse is assisting a patient with Type 2 diabetes to choose foods for the next day's meals. Which of the following food choices would have the highest glycemic index?

Legumes

Grilled chicken

Root vegetables

Mashed potatoes

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Legumes (such as beans, lentils, and peas) have a low glycemic index. They are high in fiber and protein, which helps slow the absorption of carbohydrates and keep blood sugar levels stable.
B. Grilled chicken is a protein source and does not significantly affect the glycemic index since proteins do not cause a rise in blood sugar.
C. Root vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets generally have a moderate glycemic index. While they do impact blood sugar, they do not cause as significant an increase as high-glycemic foods.
D. Mashed potatoes, especially if prepared without the skin, have a high glycemic index. The processing of potatoes into a mashed form increases their rate of digestion and absorption, causing a more rapid increase in blood sugar levels

Correct Answer is ["872"]

Explanation

1 ounce (oz) ≈ 29.5735 milliliters (mL)
1 tablespoon (tbsp) ≈ 14.7868 milliliters (mL)

Now, let's convert each item:

8 ounces of milk = 8 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 236.588 mL
8 ounces of water = 8 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 236.588 mL
12 ounces of carbonated beverage = 12 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 354.882 mL
3 tablespoons of medication = 3 tbsp * 14.7868 mL/tbsp = 44.3604 mL

Finally, let's add up all the volumes to find the total fluid intake:

Total fluid intake = 236.588 mL + 236.588 mL + 354.882 mL + 44.3604 mL = 872.3984 mL

Rounded off to the nearest whole number = 872mL

A. Encourage the client to take the medication with food B. Instruct the client to try acetaminophen, aspirin or caffeine compounds instead. C. Instruct the client to stop taking the medication and speak with the health care provider. D. Tell the client she may need to increase the dose while pregnant.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Taking naproxen with food can reduce gastrointestinal upset, but this does not address its potential harm during pregnancy.
B. Acetaminophen is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but aspirin and caffeine compounds may carry risks and should not be recommended without provider guidance.
C. Instruct the client to stop taking the medication and speak with the health care provider is correct. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to potential risks such as premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and impaired fetal renal function. The client should stop taking the medication and consult with the provider for safer alternatives.
D. Increasing the dose of a potentially harmful medication during pregnancy is inappropriate and could increase risk to the fetus.
