Which client statement on cultural or religious influences on nutrition requires intervention?
1. "My grandmother makes sure I eat a serving of greens each day."
2. "I avoid milk and meat at meals because I am Jewish."
3. "My Auntie sent me clay from the South to eat every day."
4. "Because I am Muslim, I do not ever eat any pork products."
3
Rationale:
1. Greens, such as collard greens and spinach, have high amounts of folic acid, and are healthy foods to eat during pregnancy. Women from the southern U.S. often eat greens.
2. A kosher diet involves avoiding pork and shellfish, and not eating dairy and meat at the same meal.
3. Eating clay is pica. The clay, being a type of soil, can be contaminated with hazardous substances, and should be avoided. Some African-Americans, especially those from the South, practice clay-eating pica.
4. Dietary restrictions in the Muslim tradition include avoidance of pork. Because other meats are eaten, the client is not at risk for protein or iron deficiency.
