A nurse is planning dietary teaching for a client who adheres to a vegan diet. The nurse should identify that the client is at greatest risk for which of the following nutrient deficiencies?

Wipe dentures before storing them in a dry container at night: This is a correct instruction. Before storing dentures overnight, it is important to remove debris and rinse them with water. Wiping the dentures helps to remove any remaining residue or particles and keeps them relatively clean until the next use. Storing dentures in a dry container helps prevent the growth of microorganisms and maintains the shape of the dentures.

Wrap gloved fingers with gauze to remove dentures: This is not the recommended technique for removing dentures. Instead, it is recommended to use a denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush with a non-abrasive denture cleaner or mild soap to clean the dentures. The use of gauze may not provide adequate cleaning and may cause damage to the denture surface.

Use a washcloth to clean the denture surfaces: A washcloth is not the ideal tool for cleaning dentures. Instead, a denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush should be used. These tools are specifically designed to clean denture surfaces effectively without causing damage.

Floss dentures as part of daily cleaning: Flossing is not necessary for denture cleaning since dentures do not have natural teeth or spaces between them. However, it is important to clean all surfaces of the dentures using a denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove plaque, debris, and stains.

The nurse should include the instruction to "allow the toddler to feed himself" in the teaching. Allowing toddlers to self-feed promotes independence and helps develop their fine motor skills.

It also allows them to explore different textures and tastes of food, which can contribute to their overall development and acceptance of a variety of foods.

"Set meal times immediately after physical activity": It is not necessary to schedule meals immediately after physical activity. It is more important to focus on regular meal and snack times throughout the day to ensure the toddler's nutritional needs are met.

"Avoid snacks between meals": Snacks are an important part of a toddler's diet as they have small stomachs and may not be able to consume enough food during regular meal times.

Nutritious snacks can provide additional energy and nutrients to support their growth and development. However, it is important to choose healthy snacks and avoid excessive consumption of sugary or high-calorie snacks.

"Provide different food for the toddler than the parents": It is generally recommended to offer the same types of healthy foods to both the toddler and the rest of the family. This helps promote family meals and exposes the child to a variety of flavors and textures. However, the food may need to be prepared or served in a way that is suitable for the toddler's age and developmental stage (e.g., cut into small pieces or mashed).
