A nurse is completing discharge teaching to a client about nutrition therapy for wound healing following major surgery. Which of the following vitamins that promote wound healing should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

Rationale: A. Vitamin A promotes epithelialization, inflammatory response, and collagen synthesis, all of which are essential for wound healing. B. Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell production and protein metabolism, both of which aid tissue repair and wound healing. C. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting, but it is not a primary vitamin that promotes wound healing. D. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone health but does not play a direct role in soft tissue wound healing. E. Vitamin C is critical for collagen formation, capillary strength, and immune function, all of which are essential for wound healing.
