1000mg/day of calcium the nurse would instruct the 30-year-old cline to consume during pregnancy.
The client's daily calcium need is 1000 mg, which is below the recommendation for pregnant women over the age of 19. The nurse should advise the client to increase their daily calcium intake by 400 mg. The majority of prenatal vitamins do not contain the 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day that are advised, but dietary calcium sources quickly make up the difference. For instance, if you have a cup of plain yogurt for breakfast then top whole wheat spaghetti with mozzarella at supper, you've already consumed more than half of your recommended daily intake. Consider the calcium that is already in your prenatal supplement when evaluating your calcium consumption during pregnancy.
