After a 10-year-old child with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus receives her dinner tray, she tells the nurse that she hates broccoli and wants some corn on the cob. The nurses appropriate response is:
Corn and other starchy vegetables are considered to be bread exchanges. For a child with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, it is essential to manage carbohydrate intake carefully. Starchy vegetables like corn have carbohydrates that can impact blood sugar levels, similar to bread. Therefore, it is important to treat them as such rather than allowing them as a direct vegetable exchange.
Wrong rationale for the question; this rationale is for the next question; please resolve confusion. Thanks. <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a1d0d3c0d89899e1ccc4d3c2d88fc4c5d4">[email protected]</a>
I don't think the rationale is appropriate for the question. Thanks
B; This response acknowledges the child's request while guiding on suitable alternatives based on dietary considerations, particularly for someone with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Starchy vegetables like corn can affect blood sugar levels differently than non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, so it's important to provide appropriate substitutes that won't significantly impact the child's condition.
