After two miscarriages, a client is instructed to increase her daily intake of foods that includes folic acid.The client does not like green leafy vegetables and states she is allergic to soy. Which food should the nurse suggest that the client eat to obtain folic acid?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A rationale Yogurt is a good source of calcium and protein but is not particularly high in folic acid. It is beneficial for overall health but not the best option for increasing folic acid intake. Choice B rationale Collard greens are high in folic acid, but since the client does not like green leafy vegetables, this option is not suitable for her. Choice C rationale Whole milk provides vitamin D and calcium, but it is not a significant source of folic acid. It would not effectively help the client meet her increased folic acid needs. Choice D rationale Strawberries are a good source of folic acid and can be a suitable option for the client to increase her intake without consuming green leafy vegetables or soy products. .
