Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Janet's HIV status puts her at risk for lipid disorders, hypertension, and diabetes. Therefore, a diet that limits concentrated sweets, saturated fats, and cholesterol would be most appropriate to manage her overall health. A regular diet may not address these specific concerns, while a high kcalorie, high protein diet or clear liquids with TPN may not be necessary or appropriate for her current condition.
