A nurse is planning to teach a diabetic diet to a client who follows a kosher diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse include in the teaching plan?

Rationale: The nurse should include foods that are compatible with both the diabetic and kosher diets. A kosher diet prohibits the consumption of pork, shellfish, and meat and dairy products together. A diabetic diet emphasizes complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and fiber-rich foods.

Incorrect options:

A) Cheeseburger with whole wheat bun - This food violates both the diabetic and kosher diets. It contains simple carbohydrates, saturated fat, and meat and dairy products together.

C) Ham and cheese sandwich with fruit salad - This food violates both the diabetic and kosher diets. It contains pork, simple carbohydrates, saturated fat, and meat and dairy products together.

D) Spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce - This food violates both the diabetic and kosher diets. It contains simple carbohydrates, saturated fat, and meat and dairy products together.

Rationale: The nurse should speak directly to the client and use simple words, as this shows respect and helps to establish rapport. The nurse should also maintain eye contact with the client, not the interpreter, and avoid using jargon, slang, or idioms that may be confusing or culturally inappropriate.

Incorrect options:

A) Speak directly to the interpreter and use short sentences - This is incorrect, as the nurse should speak directly to the client, not the interpreter. The nurse should also use complete sentences, not short sentences, as this may affect the accuracy or clarity of the interpretation.

C) Speak loudly and slowly to the client and use gestures - This is incorrect, as speaking loudly and slowly may be perceived as patronizing or insulting by the client. Gestures may also be misinterpreted or culturally inappropriate.

D) Speak in a normal tone and pace to the interpreter and use medical terms - This is incorrect, as speaking in a normal tone and pace may be too fast or too quiet for the interpreter to catch every word. Medical terms may also be unfamiliar or difficult to translate for the interpreter.
