Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assisting an 18-year-old female client to plan a healthy diet to support recent weight loss. Which of the following should be included in the dietary plan?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Grain intake should include at least six servings daily. To maintain a healthy weight and reduce incidence of cardiovascular disease, fat intake should not exceed 30 % of the daily intake. Folic acid intake should be at 400 mg daily, not 200 mg. Iron is a vital ingredient in the daily diet; 18 mg daily is reflective of the desired amount, and limiting it below 21 mg is unnecessary for constipation prevention, which is better managed by fluid and fiber intake.
