A nurse is teaching a group of clients about dietary needs to prevent osteoporosis. Which of the following dietary choices should the nurse recommend as having the highest calcium content?

Choice A reason: Alternating the first breast that is offered to the baby with each feeding is a good practice for breastfeeding because it can ensure equal stimulation and drainage of both breasts, which can prevent engorgement, mastitis, or low milk supply. Alternating breasts can also provide the baby with both foremilk and hindmilk, which have different compositions and benefits.

Choice B reason: Storing breast milk in the refrigerator up to 48 hours is not a good practice for breastfeeding because it can reduce the quality and safety of the milk. Breast milk should be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 24 hours or in the freezer for no longer than 6 months. Breast milk should also be stored in clean, sterile containers and labeled with the date and time of expression.

Choice C reason: Nursing the baby once every 4 hours is not a good practice for breastfeeding because it can decrease the milk production and supply, which can affect the growth and development of the baby. Breastfeeding should be done on demand or at least every 2 to 3 hours during the day and every 3 to 4 hours at night. Breastfeeding should also last for at least 10 to 15 minutes per breast or until the baby is satisfied.

Choice D reason: Offering the baby water between feedings is not a good practice for breastfeeding because it can interfere with the baby's appetite and intake of breast milk, which can cause dehydration, malnutrition, or failure to thrive. Breast milk contains enough water and nutrients to meet the baby's needs for the first six months of life. Water should be avoided or limited until the baby starts solid foods.

Choice A reason: 1 cup green grapes has about 15 mg of calcium, which is low compared to other foods. Green grapes are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants.

Choice B reason: One medium banana has about 6 mg of calcium, which is very low compared to other foods. Banana is also a good source of potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6.

Choice C reason: 1 cup broccoli has about 180 mg of calcium, which is high compared to other foods. Broccoli is also a good source of vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants.

Choice D reason: One large tomato has about 18 mg of calcium, which is low compared to other foods. Tomato is also a good source of vitamin C, lycopene, and potassium.
