[All NCLEX-RN Questions]

After several days, an IDDM client's serum glucose stabilizes, and the registered nurse continues client teaching in preparation for his discharge. The nurse helps him plan an American Diabetes Association diet and explains how foods can be substituted on the exchange list. He can substitute 1 oz of poultry for:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

(A) A frankfurter is a high-fat meat on the diabetic exchange list. (B) Ham is a medium-fat meat on the diabetic exchange list, unless it is a center-cut slice. (C) One strip of bacon equals onefatexchange rather than ameatexchange. Dietary substitutions should occur within exchange lists and not between exchange lists. (D) Diabetic meat-exchange lists are categorized into leanmeat foods, medium-fat meats, and high-fat meats. Cottage cheese (dry, 2% butterfat), one-fourth cup, can substitute for one lean-meat exchange.

I recall that one ounce of poultry is often compared to processed meats, so I’m leaning towards the frankfurter or ham, but I can't remember which one exactly.

I’m a bit confused about the exchange list. I thought cottage cheese was a dairy product, so it might not be a direct substitute for poultry.

I practiced a similar question about food exchanges, and I feel like ham might be a good option since it's also a meat.
