A client has a fractured humerus. Which dietary choice indicates that the client understands the nutrition needed to assist in healing the fracture?
a. Skim milk, vitamin D supplements, and fish
b. Soy milk, vitamin B supplements, and bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich
c. Whole milk, vitamin A supplements, and vegetable lasagna
d. Low-fat milk, vitamin C supplements, and roast beef
D
The client with a healing fracture needs supplements of vitamins B and C and a high-protein, high-calorie diet. Milk for calcium supplementation and vitamin C supplementation are appro-priate. Meat would increase protein in the diet that is necessary for bone healing. Fish, a sand-wich, and vegetable lasagna would provide less protein.
