The nutritional supplement regimen may require further assessment to ensure that the client is not consuming excessive amounts of certain vitamins or minerals, which can be harmful. Balanced diet and stable weight indicate good nutritional status, and occasional alcohol consumption is less likely to impact nutritional status significantly.
