The nurse is completing a nutritional assessment on a client. Which statement made by the client is most concerning to the nurse?

  • A. "I notice when I take a vitamin E supplement, I bruise more easily."
  • B. "I work nights and rarely go outside during the day."
  • C. "I take warfarin, so I need to limit the amount of green leafy vegetables I eat."
  • D. "My vitamin supplement has the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A."
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Excessive intake of vitamin E can increase the risk of bleeding as it acts as a blood thinner. Bruising easily may indicate too much vitamin E. Choice B is not as concerning as it describes a lifestyle that may lead to vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sunlight exposure. Choice C shows awareness of the interaction between warfarin and vitamin K, which is expected. Choice D indicates knowledge of the vitamin A content in the supplement, which is not a cause for concern.
