Question

The nurse is determining the effectiveness of nutritional teaching with a pregnant patient. Which food item that the patient selects indicates that additional teaching on good sources of iron is needed? Option 1: Spinach Option 2: White bread Option 3: Oranges Option 4: Milk

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The food item that the patient selects indicating that additional teaching on good sources of iron is needed is **Option 2: White bread.** White bread is not a good source of iron, and if the patient is relying on it for iron intake during pregnancy, it suggests a need for further education on better iron-rich food choices. Spinach, oranges, and milk can be good sources of iron or other important nutrients during pregnancy, depending on how they are included in the diet.
