Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactose intolerance is common among Filipinos and can limit the client's intake of dairy products, a primary source of calcium for maintaining bone health. The nurse should provide alternative sources of calcium such as dark green leafy vegetables, canned fish with bones, and fortified products like orange juice or tofu. The other choices are not directly related to osteoporosis concerns.
