Practice Question

A nurse is educating a group of middle adults about health promotion. What statement by one of the participants indicates the need for additional education?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"Should eat a diet high in fats but low in fiber."

Rationale:

➤ A high-fat, low-fiber diet increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, constipation, and impaired gastrointestinal function, contradicting healthy adult nutrition guidelines.

➤ Adequate fiber intake is essential for bowel regularity, cholesterol reduction, and blood sugar control, all of which support chronic disease prevention in middle adulthood.

➤ Current dietary recommendations emphasize unsaturated fats, whole grains, and plant-based proteins, highlighting the participant’s misunderstanding of balanced nutrition.

➤ Effective health promotion education should stress a fiber-rich diet with lean fats to maintain heart health and overall well-being.
