Acute Respiratory Care Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which breakfast menu is most appropriate for a patient with diabetes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oatmeal is a good source of fiber, which can help manage blood sugar levels. Whole-grain toast provides complex carbohydrates and fiber, and using an artificial sweetener in oatmeal reduces sugar intake. Tea is a good beverage choice as it does not contain sugar or calories if not sweetened.
