A) Vitamin A
B) Vitamin C
C) Vitamin D
D) Vitamin E
C
Feedback:
The nurse needs to suggest vitamin D supplementation in the diet of a client who has lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance leads to avoidance of milk and milk products. Therefore, the body may not get adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D. The nurse need not suggest that the client include vitamin A, C, and E supplementation if lactose intolerant.
