Which statement by a mature adult client with advanced prostate cancer best indicates that he has reached a level of acceptance of his prognosis?

Since the pregnant woman is vegetarian and does not eat meat, the practical nurse (PN) should provide alternative sources of iron-rich foods. Lentils and black beans are excellent vegetarian sources of iron and can be added to soups to increase iron intake (option a).

Oatmeal is a good choice for breakfast as it is often fortified with iron (option d). This can help supplement

iron intake in the diet.

Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and broccoli, are also rich in iron and should be increased in the client's diet (option e).

Option b, which suggests eating red meat just until the anemia is resolved, is not appropriate for a vegetarian client.

Option c, taking two prenatal vitamins with iron daily, is not necessary unless specifically advised by the healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage of medication and supplements as directed by the healthcare provider.

Choice A rationale:

The client being the oldest of their siblings is not a contributing factor related to the development of conduct disorder. Family dynamics such as birth order may have some influence on personality traits, but they are not a primary factor in the development of conduct disorder.

Choice B rationale:

The fact that the client's father lives in the client's home is a family dynamic, but it does not necessarily contribute to the development of conduct disorder. Other factors related to parenting style, communication, and family interactions play a more significant role in the development of conduct disorder.

Choice C rationale:

The client's mother having asthma is a medical condition and not a family dynamic that directly contributes to the development of conduct disorder. Conduct disorder is more closely associated with social, environmental, and psychological factors.

Choice D rationale:

The presence of several siblings in the family dynamic can contribute to the development of conduct disorder. Increased family size can lead to competition for attention and resources, which may affect the child's behavior and interactions. Sibling relationships and family dynamics are crucial in shaping a child's behavior and psychological well-being.
