A Filipino American client is discussing concerns related to osteoporosis with the nurse educator. Which concept related to cultural nutrition may pose problems for this client's plan of care and will need to be incorporated into the information provided?
1. Potential for lactose intolerance.
2. Pork is a primary source of protein.
3. Heavy use of salt and vinegar.
4. Chicken is a primary source of protein.
Correct Answer: 1
The Filipino American has a higher than average risk to be lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance may make ingestion of dairy products challenging. The client's preferred sources of protein are not a source of concern. The use of salt and vinegar for seasoning are not issues for the client who has concerns related to osteoporosis.
