The nurse is caring for a male patient who states, I have been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for 20 years and now my nurse practitioner wants me to take vitamins. Do you think I need to take vitamins?
 
  What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
  a. Smoking is bad for your health. I believe if you stop smoking you would certainly be better off and not have to take vitamins.
  b. Smokers use vitamin C faster than do nonsmokers, and is linked to iron deficiency. You can either eat more foods containing vitamin C and iron or take dietary supplements.
  c. It is probably a good idea. With your history of tobacco use, I'm sure you are lacking in vitamins and nutrients.
  d. I really cannot answer this question. You will need to speak with your nurse practitioner to find out more about this.

Question 2
