A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is pregnant and is vegan. The nurse should instruct the client that which of the following foods is a reliable source of Vitamin B12?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Sunflower margarine. Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products. Sunflower margarine is often fortified with Vitamin B12 making it a reliable source for vegans. Algae, sea vegetables, and tempeh do not naturally contain Vitamin B12, and the B12 found in them may not be bioavailable. So, while they may be part of a vegan diet, they are not reliable sources of Vitamin B12.
