Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a client about preventing osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"l will reduce my intake of vitamin K-rich foods."
Rationale:
🦴 Vitamin K plays a role in bone metabolism by aiding in the activation of osteocalcin, a protein essential for bone mineralization. Reducing vitamin K intake is not recommended for osteoporosis prevention.
🦴 Limiting soft drinks (high in phosphates), sodium, and caffeine is appropriate because excessive intake can lead to calcium loss and decreased bone density.
🦴 Therefore, the statement about reducing vitamin K intake shows a misunderstanding and indicates a need for further teaching.
