The client asks if meal replacements, such as Jenny Craig products, are a good idea to
help with weight loss. Which of the following would be the nurse’s best response?
a. “They are a great way to control portions and can help you adhere to your diet
when used as suggested.”
b. “They are gimmicks that fail to teach you how to control your own intake. They are
not recommended.”
c. “Most people gain weight while using them. You should stay away from them.”
d. “They are not nutritionally balanced so you actually have to overeat in order to
meet your nutritional requirements if you use them.”
