A nurse is providing teaching about food allergies to the parents of a toddler. Which of the following foods should the nurse identify as the highest risk for allergies in toddlers?

A. "There are so many variables that you'll have to ask your obstetrician."

This response dismisses the client's question and fails to provide helpful information. While the client should discuss their specific situation with their obstetrician, the nurse should still offer some general guidance or information.

B. "The primary consideration is what type of incision was performed this time."

This is the correct response because it provides relevant information to the client's question. The type of incision made during the cesarean birth can influence the options for future deliveries. For example, a low transverse incision may make a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) more likely, whereas a vertical incision might increase the likelihood of needing a repeat cesarean.

C. "A repeat cesarean birth is safer for both you and your baby."

This statement may not be accurate for all clients and situations. While repeat cesarean births are sometimes recommended for medical reasons, such as certain pregnancy complications or a previous cesarean with a vertical incision, it is not necessarily the safest option for all clients. This response also lacks consideration of the client's individual circumstances.

D. "It's too soon for you to be worrying about this now."

This response invalidates the client's concerns and fails to address their question. It's important to validate the client's feelings and provide them with accurate information to address their concerns.

A) The client's statement indicates an understanding of the teaching about improving bone health. Fortified milk, fatty fish, and cheese are all good dietary sources of calcium and vitamin D, which are essential nutrients for bone health. Incorporating these foods into the daily diet can help promote bone strength and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

B) While orange juice contains vitamin C, which is important for collagen synthesis in bones, lean meats and egg whites do not provide significant amounts of calcium or vitamin D, which are essential for bone health. This statement does not reflect a comprehensive understanding of the dietary recommendations for improving bone health.

C) Vitamin A supplementation is not typically recommended for improving bone health, as excessive intake of vitamin A can actually be detrimental to bone health and increase the risk of fractures. This statement does not demonstrate an understanding of the appropriate dietary strategies for promoting bone health.

D) While calcium supplementation is important for bone health, taking a calcium supplement alone may not be sufficient for optimal bone health. Adequate intake of vitamin D, as well as other nutrients like magnesium and vitamin K, is also important for bone health. Additionally, the statement does not address dietary sources of calcium and vitamin D, which are preferable to supplementation when possible. Therefore, this statement does not fully demonstrate an understanding of the teaching about improving bone health.
