A pregnant woman tells a nurse that she takes daily vitamin supplements. Since learning about her pregnancy, she has increased her vitamin A supplement to 1200 RAEs per day. The nurse should:
 
  1. confirm that this dose is appropriate during pregnancy.
  2. encourage the patient to increase the dose to 1500 RAEs to promote the development of the central nervous system of the fetus.
  3. recommend that the patient decrease the dose to less than 700 RAEs because higher doses may be teratogenic.
  4. inform the patient that because vitamin A is water soluble, large doses are needed to maintain skin integrity.

Question 2

A 78-year-old patient recently read about the possible benefits of vitamin E on vision but is hesitant to take supplements. What dietary increase should the nurse recommend?
 
  1. Dairy products
  2. Yellow and orange vegetables
  3. Fresh greens, nuts, and fruit
  4. Whole-grain products
