A nurse is evaluating a 3-day diet history with a client who has an elevated lipid panel. What meal selection indicates the client is managing this condition well with diet?
- A. A 4-ounce steak, French fries, iceberg lettuce
- B. Baked chicken breast, broccoli, tomatoes
- C. Fried catfish, cornbread, peas
- D. Spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it includes a lean protein (baked chicken breast) and high-fiber vegetables (broccoli, tomatoes) which are beneficial for managing elevated lipid levels. Lean protein helps reduce saturated fat intake while fiber from vegetables aids in lowering cholesterol levels. Choice A includes a high-saturated fat steak and French fries, not ideal for managing lipid levels. Choice C contains fried catfish and cornbread which are high in unhealthy fats and refined carbohydrates. Choice D has spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread, which are high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats, not recommended for someone with elevated lipid levels.
