A pregnant client would like to know a good food source of calcium other than d... airy products. Which is the best answer that the nurse should give? a. Legumes b. Lean meat c. Whole grains d. Yellow vegetables ANSWER: A. Legumes Although dairy products contain the greatest amount of calcium, it can also be found in legumes, nuts, dried fruits, and some dark green leafy vegetables. Lean meats are rich in protein and phosphorus. Whole grains are rich in zinc and magnesium. Yellow vegetables are rich in vitamin A. 2. To determine cultural influences on a client’s diet, what should the nurse do first? a. Evaluate the client’s weight gain during pregnancy. b. Assess the socioeconomic status of the client. c.
