question 3 of 5
a nurse is working with a client who is interested in losing weight. what suggestion(s) can the
urse offer to this client to promote a healthy weight loss? select all that apply.

□ increase physical activity.

□ increase the number of complex carbohydrates.

□ cut carbohydrates to 45% of intake.

□ do not eat anything that is white, such as flour or sugar.

□ decrease the number of calories ingested.

Explanation:

• Increasing physical activity helps burn calories, which is beneficial for weight loss.
• Decreasing calorie intake creates a calorie deficit, which is essential for losing weight.
• Increasing complex carbohydrates is not a direct weight - loss strategy. While complex carbs are healthier, they still contribute to calorie intake.
• Cutting carbs to 45% of intake is an arbitrary and not necessarily healthy or effective weight - loss approach.
• The idea of not eating anything white (like flour or sugar) is an oversimplification. For example, some white foods like cauliflower are healthy.

Answer:

• Increase physical activity.
• Decrease the number of calories ingested.
