    INSTRUCTIONS: 

     This is an INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY.


     Students should explain and elaborate comprehensively on their IDEAS, THOUGHTS,
    on their answers TOWARDS THE GIVEN QUESTION. 
     This activity has a PERFECT SCORE of 25 ITEMS, and EACH SCORE has a High
    Score of 5 points of each number. 
      Student, will COPY THE QUESTION and AFTER UPLOAD THE  ANSWER OF THE
    GIVEN QUESTION on the folder of the GDRIVE into MICROSOFT WORD.
     Submission on JULY 10, 2021 (Saturday) on or before 12NOON.

    QUESTIONS:

    1. How crucial it is for a person who has a medical diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus who
    could not maintain his/her carbohydrate intake? and Why is it that a person who has this
    kind of medical condition should maintain and monitor his/her dietary intake? 

     Diabetes Mellitus is a condition where the pancreas does not produce insulin or
    minimal production of insulin causing the blood sugar or glucose to abnormally
    high. Carbohydrates that enter in our body are converted to glucose which
    become the main source of body to have energy. Since carbohydrates become
    glucose it is delicately crucial for someone who has Diabetes Mellitus to not
    maintain it, because his/her pancreas could not control its glucose to increase
    abnormally due to lack of insulin production or no insulin production.

    That is why maintaining and monitoring dietary intake should be strictly done
    because uncontrolled high level of blood sugar will result to different
    complications like kidney damage, heart problems, and etc.

    2. Does the nutrition care process important in the field of nursing profession?  Why? 

     Nutrition care process is very important because it plays a big role in disease
    prevention, recovery from illness, and ongoing good health. A healthy diet will
    help you look and feel good as well.

    Since nurses are the main point of contact with patients, they must understand
    the importance of nutrition basics and be able to explain the facts about healthy
    food choices to their patients. Nutrition classes provide the information necessary
    to sort the fact from fiction about healthy eating and pass that knowledge on to
    their patients. Not only must nurses be able to explain the ins and outs of a
    healthy diet, but they must also lead by example.

    3. Explain the differences between monosaccharide and disaccharide as part of


    the different sugars of carbohydrate. 

     Monosaccharides and disaccharides comprise the smallest types of


    carbohydrates. In general, they exhibit much of the same properties; such as
    water solubility and a sweet taste. Both consist of only carbon, hydrogen, and
    oxygen in varying proportions. Monosaccharides serve as carbohydrate
    monomers; disaccharides are simply two monosaccharide units bonded together.
    Though both are referred to as sugars. They still exhibit a number of differences.

    4. When was the last time that you ate a lot of foods that are high in carbohydrates? and
    what was that kind of food? What was your realization after digesting those large
    volumes of food that has a high amount of carbohydrates? 

     I ate a lot of French fries yesterday I think it was 1kg and today I ate a lot of white
    rice and processed foods. I know that it is not healthy to eat those large amount
    of carbs but its natural for me because we all have our cravings, but after that I
    realized that if I want to be healthy I need to discipline myself and set boundaries
    when it comes to the food I eat.

    5. If given a chance to create a food that is healthy but high on carbohydrate, what would
    that be? and do you think it is healthy enough to eat that kind of food?  Why? 

     If I would be given a chance I would choose rice and microwave meals/ready


    meals that is high on carbohydrates but healthy. Since we live in a busy world
    where people have so much things going on, microwave meals/ ready meals is a
    practical choice that I would want to create, so that people can easily cook or eat
    it in a short period of time plus it is healthy.
