A client who eats fish, mostly salmon, at least three times a week wants to know if it is possible to get too much vitamin A doing that. The nurse replies that:
 
  1. Fish is so good for you, but I would be careful..
   2. Excess vitamin A consumption may occur when eating organ meat but it is not likely with fish three times a week..
   3. As long as you broil the fish, rather than fry it, you will not get excess vitamin A..
   4. It is possible, so it is important to vary the kind of fish you eat..

Question 2

  A) The Supplement Facts label
  B) Look for the nutrient's Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Hypervitaminosis A may occur when very large amounts of organ meat, especially liver, are consumed. Regular consumption of fish is beneficial as long as it is prepared without added fats, however preparation does not relate to vitamin A. There is no reason to vary the type of fish.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The FDA requires a standardized Supplemental Facts label on all supplements. This label is intended to provide consumers with better information.
