Question 2
A parent is concerned that an adolescent daughter has become a vegetarian and will not consume all the food that is needed for growth. What should the nurse respond to this mother's concern?

B) Lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets are acceptable for teens but, until the body's growth cycle is complete, all humans need some egg and dairy products for good health.
C) Vegan diets can be healthy for teens but should be supplemented with protein drinks and megavitamins.
