Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A vegetarian diet may not be adequate; it depends on the type of vegetarian diet the client is following.
Rationale 2: Vitamin B12 is found only in animal sources, but this does include eggs and dairy products. Some vegetarian diets allow eggs and/or dairy products.
Rationale 3: Increasing fluids and fiber will not help correct any vitamin deficiencies.
Rationale 4: A vegetarian diet is almost never deficient in vitamin C as this vitamin is plentiful in fruits and vegetables.
