Question 1 of 5
The client, who is Chinese American and pregnant, is receiving nutritional counseling about the need for increased amounts of calcium in her diet. Which response by the nurse is most helpful when the client states she does not consume any dairy products?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing the client’s intake of calcium-rich foods is the best response. Both fortified tofu and leafy green vegetables are high in calcium and are common foods consumed in the Chinese American diet. Although asking about the client’s perception of dairy products shows cultural sensitivity, the client has already stated she does not consume these. This statement is not the most helpful regarding helping the client to increase calcium intake in her diet. The nurse is making a recommendation without further assessing the client’s dietary preferences. Soy milk should be calcium fortified; yet, according to research the calcium content can be as much as 85 percent less than the amount indicated on the product label. Both rice milk fortified with calcium and nettle tea are sources of calcium; however, the nurse is making an assumption that the client consumes these beverages.
