Vitamin A deficiency causes night blindness, so risk for injury is an appropriate nursing
diagnosis. The other nursing diagnoses are not appropriate for patients receiving vitamin A.
A patient is on vitamin D supplemental therapy.
The nurse will monitor for which signs of toxicity during this therapy?
a. Tinnitus
b. Anorexia
c. Diarrhea
d. Hypotension - answer✔✔B.
The toxic effects of vitamin D are those associated with hypertension, such as weakness, fatigue,
headache, anorexia, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, ataxia, and
bone pain. If not recognized and treated, these symptoms can progress to impairment of renal
function and osteoporosis. The other options listed are not signs of vitamin D toxicity.
The nurse is counseling a patient about calcium supplements.
Which dietary information is appropriate during this teaching session?
a. "Take oral calcium supplements with meals."
b. "There are no drug interactions with calcium products."
c. "Avoid foods that are high in calcium, such as beef, egg yolks, and liver."
d. "Be sure to eat foods high in calcium, such as dairy products and salmon." - answer✔✔D.
Foods high in calcium include dairy products, fortified cereals, calcium-fortified orange juice,
sardines, and salmon. Patients can be encouraged to add dietary sources of calcium to their diets.
Oral-dosage forms of calcium need to be given 1 to 3 hours after meals. Calcium salts will bind
with tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics and result in an insoluble complex.
The nurse will prepare to give which preparation to a newborn upon arrival in the nursery after
delivery?
a. Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
b. Vitamin D (calciferol)
c. Folic acid
