When counseling teenage girls regarding nutritional needs, it is most important that the nurse emphasize
a. limiting daily intake of sodium
b. restricting consumption of saturated fats
c. increasing daily calcium intake
d. increasing intake of carbohydrates
C
Adolescence is the final natural growth spurt in life, with increased demands for calcium, because 45 percent of skeletal mass occurs during this developmental time. Limiting daily intake of sodium is not a necessary restriction unless related to a health alteration. Restricting consumption of saturated fats is a recommendation not specific to adolescent girls. Increasing intake of carbohydrates is usually necessary, but it is not as significant as increased calcium intake.
