A client who 1) _____ diet requires 2) ___ amounts of vitamin C.

  • A. A) Follows a vegan diet, B) More
  • B. B) Smokes cigarettes, B) More
  • C. A) Follows a vegan diet, C) The same
  • D. B) Smokes cigarettes, C) The same
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B) Smokes cigarettes, More. Smoking increases the need for vitamin C as it can deplete the body's vitamin C levels. Vegan diets, on the other hand, require more vitamin C for optimal absorption due to the absence of heme iron, which enhances non-heme iron absorption. Choices A and C are incorrect because vegan diets require more vitamin C, while smoking increases the need for vitamin C.
