تمرين 18

Is there a problem with a parent of a child in your class asking you to give her child three capsules of a potassium (K) supplement (one in the morning, one at lunch, and one in the afternoon) when the directions on the bottle recommend taking one capsule per day
A) No, potassium is only a mineral.
B) No, the dose is excessive but the unused nutrient will be excreted from the child's system.
C) No, you should administer the supplement according to the mother's request even though it might be incorrect.
D) Yes, the dose should be questioned because an excess of this mineral could lead to toxicity.
