    HESI RN Exit Proctored Exam

    The nurse is providing a nutrition class to a group of postmenopausal clients. Which food should the nurse emphasize to this group?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Carrots are a good source of vitamin A, but they do not provide sufficient calcium or vitamin D for bone health. B. Low-fat yogurt is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, which are important for postmenopausal women at risk for osteoporosis due to hormonal changes. C. Beets are nutritious but are not particularly relevant for improving bone health. D. Mixed berries are a great source of antioxidants but do not provide the same bone-strengthening nutrients as low-fat yogurt.
