Question 2 of 5
A patient is being discharged with a vitamin K deficiency. What food should the nurse recommend to the patient to include in their diet?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, which plays a vital role in blood clotting and bone health. Oranges, fish, and nuts do not contain significant amounts of vitamin K, making them less suitable choices to address a vitamin K deficiency. Therefore, the correct recommendation for a patient with a vitamin K deficiency would be to include spinach in their diet to help replenish this essential vitamin.
Question 3 of 5
A client who was normal weight before pregnancy asks about the recommended weight gain during pregnancy. What should the nurse advise?
