Question 5 of 5
Which food is most important for the nurse to encourage a client with osteomalacia to include in a daily diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fortified milk and cereal are most important for a client with osteomalacia, a condition of softened bones due to vitamin D deficiency. These foods are rich in vitamin D and calcium, essential for bone mineralization and strength. Green leafy vegetables provide calcium but less vitamin D, red meat/eggs offer protein but minimal vitamin D, and citrus fruits supply vitamin C, not directly addressing osteomalacia's cause. Fortified products directly correct the deficiency, making them the priority dietary recommendation.
