The older adult asks the nurse how dietary supplements will help support health. What is the best response by the nurse?
1. "Fish oil will help to enhance your brain function."
2. "Chromium will help you achieve and maintain optimum weight."
3. "Dietary supplements will help support and maintain hydration."
4. "Soy isoflavone will help prevent Alzheimer disease."
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Omega-3 fatty acids are neuroprotective and will enhance brain function. Dietary supplements do not support and maintain hydration. There isn't any evidence to support that chromium helps with weight maintenance. Soy isoflavone will help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, but will not help prevent Alzheimer disease.
