While planning a prenatal nutrition class for primigravid clients, the nurse knows to include the need for adequate Vitamin A. Which foods should the clients choose for their diets?

Egg yolks, squash, and yellow or orange vegetables such as sweet potatoes and carrots are good sources of Vitamin A. Other excellent sources are fish oil, liver, whole milk, dark leafy greens, and dried apricots. However, pregnant clients should avoid excess of Vitamin A, because it can cause malformations in the fetus. Milk and cheese are sources of calcium. Berries, broccoli, oranges, and tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C. To help you remember which foods have Vitamin A, use this mnemonic: "Eye Must Feel Very Lively." Eye: Vitamin A helps with vision. Get it from Eggs. Must: Milk (whole). Feel: Fruits. Very: Vegetables in "lively" colors of orange, yellow, and green. Lively: Liver.
