Question

Ruth Ann meets with a registered dietitian and is provided sample menus. A month later she returns for a follow-up: she has gained weight and her blood sugar is still high. Ruth Ann states that she is being compliant. What is the possible cause for the weight gain?- misuse of diabetic medications- incorrect portion size- poor cooking techniques- carbohydrate counting

Answer 1

b. Incorrect portion size

Step-by-step explanation:

When we do nutritional monitoring, we should be aware of the smallest details of all indications given by the nutritionist. What misinterpreted information can have the opposite effect of what we were hoping for. An example of this is what happened to Ruth Ann, although she obeyed all her nutritionist's directions, she probably had her meals with the wrong portion size and this caused her weight to increase and her sugar rate to increase.
