Question:
Which potential nutritional deficiencies may occur with a vegetarian diet?
Select all that apply.
a. Protein
b. Iron
c. Vitamin B12
d. Zinc
e. Calcium
f. Vitamin D
,Answer:
Protein
A vegetarian diet has potential nutritional deficiencies of protein because
protein is largely found in animal products that are missing from a vegetarian
diet.
Iron
A vegetarian diet has potential nutritional deficiencies of iron because iron is
commonly found in red meat, fish, and poultry. Vegetarians do not eat these
products.
Zinc
A vegetarian diet has potential nutritional deficiencies of zinc because good
sources of zinc are meat and shellfish, which are not consumed by
vegetarians.
Rationale for Incorrect:
There is a potential nutritional deficiency of vitamin B12 in vegan diets
because these do not include dairy or eggs. Vitamin B12 is found in animal
products.
A vegan diet has potential nutritional deficiencies of calcium because calcium
is found in dairy products, which are consumed by vegetarians.
Vitamin D deficiency is a risk for those who have limited exposure to the sun.
, Question:
A patient being seen in the outpatient setting 2 weeks after abdominal
surgery reports to the nurse that the surgical incision does not seem to be
healing well. The patient describes sleeping well, having minimal discomfort,
ambulating as directed postoperatively, and tolerating a normal vegan diet.
Which foods will the nurse recommend?
a. Leafy green vegetables and oranges
b. Lobster and shrimp
c. Soybeans and flaxseeds
d. Greek yogurt and goat cheese
Answer:
Soybeans and flaxseeds
Adding soybeans and flaxseeds to the postoperative patient's diet will provide
increased protein, which is critical for wound healing, which is what this
patient needs.
Rationale for Incorrect:
Additional leafy green vegetables and oranges in the diet will increase calcium
stores in this patient. While not harmful, this will not assist in wound
healing, which is what the patient requires.
While lobster and shrimp are excellent sources of zinc, which plays a critical
role in wound healing, these shellfish are considered meat and are not
included in a vegan diet.
Greek yogurt and goat cheese are excellent sources of protein and would
enhance wound healing. These can be consumed as part of a vegetarian diet
but are not included in a vegan diet.
