LPN ATI Fundamental Exam Paredes ( 50 Questions)
The nurse consults with a patient who is a vegan and stresses that this diet puts the patient at risk for:
Lactose intolerance is more related to the absence of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down lactose (milk sugar) and can occur in individuals regardless of their dietary choices.
Vegan diets may lack sufficient intake of absorbable iron, as plant-based sources of iron (non-heme iron) are not as readily absorbed by the body compared to heme iron found in animal products. This can put vegans at a higher risk of iron deficiency.
Diabetes risk is influenced by various factors, including genetics and lifestyle, rather than specifically by following a vegan diet.
Pneumonia risk is not directly associated with following a vegan diet but can be influenced by overall health, immune function, and exposure to pathogens.
