The nurse monitors a client who has followed a vegan diet for several years. Which client statement would indicate a possible complication resulting from a vegan diet?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Night vision disturbances suggest vitamin A deficiency, common in vegan diets lacking sufficient beta-carotene sources. Insomnia, scaly skin, and tingling are less specific to vegan diet complications, potentially relating to other causes like stress or neuropathy.
