    Question: 1 of 24RN hesi fundamentals
    The nurse is providing dietary education to a client newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which information should the nurse provide?
    Explanation
    A: It is best to count carbohydrates regularly rather than only when blood glucose feels high, as consistent monitoring is essential for managing diabetes. B. Counting carbohydrates will ensure glucose levels stay within a normal range by allowing the client to manage their carbohydrate intake and make appropriate adjustments to maintain blood sugar control. Carbohydrates are the main source of glucose in the diet, and they affect blood glucose levels more than other nutrients. Counting carbohydrates can help the client plan meals and snacks that keep glucose levels within the target range. C. Many carbohydrates are found in starches and fruits, but the key is to monitor and manage their intake rather than avoiding them entirely.
