A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has acute pancreatitis and a prescription for fat-soluble vitamin supplements.
Which of the following supplements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Vitamin A.
Vitamin C.
Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B.
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale:
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Clients with acute pancreatitis often have difficulty absorbing fat, including fat-soluble vitamins, so supplementation may be necessary.
Choice B rationale:
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, not a fat-soluble vitamin.
Choice C rationale:
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, not a fat-soluble vitamin.
Choice D rationale:
Vitamin B is a water-soluble vitamin, not a fat-soluble vitamin.
