If a 53 year old patient is brought to the ER via an ambulance, where you are working as nurse. You will check his vitals and see what his symptoms are. If the patient has labored breathing and also has a fruity odor to his breath, and also has Type 1 diabetes this is a serious condition. The patient is most likely ketoacidosis. This can come on suddenly without warning and can be a life threatening condition. The body's cells are unable to get glucose during ketoacidosis.

A nurse is teaching a client with a vitamin B12 deficiency about appropriate food choices to increase the amount of B12 ingested
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

"I will eat a meat source such as chicken or pork with each meal."

Explanation:

Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is one of eight B-complex vitamins. It is found only in animal foods (except honey), such as red meats, seafood, fish, eggs and milk, and is responsible for important functions in the body. Vitamin B12 deficiency is difficult to diagnose, but can cause serious conditions such as megaloblastic anemia and pernicious anemia. Specific groups in society, such as non-supplementary vegetarians and vegans and people over 50, are those most vulnerable to vitamin B12 deficiency.

Regarding the customer exposed in the question, the statement "I will eat a meat source such as chicken or pork with each meal." demonstrates that he is well informed and has correctly learned all the claims about vitamin B12.
