To assess the effectiveness of the teaching for Jennifer Jimenez, the nurse can consider the following indicators:

d. The client's next food history will include fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins. This would indicate that Jennifer has incorporated the dietary recommendations provided during the teaching sessions.

e. The client will have lost 5% of her body weight in 4 weeks. This is a measurable outcome that can reflect Jennifer's adherence to the dietary and lifestyle changes discussed during the teaching sessions.
