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?
A) Vegetarian diets can be healthy, even for growing teens, as long as they include whole-grain products, legumes, nuts, seeds, and low-fat dairy products or soy dairy substitutes.
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.
D) A vegetarian diet is unhealthy for growing bodies, and teens are too immature to make a healthy decision.
