The area of client needs related to vitamin A supplementation is which?

• A. Physiologic Integrity
• B. Health Promotion and Maintenance
• C. Physiological Integrity
• D. Psychosocial Integrity

Answer: (A)

Focusing on how nutrients sustain the body’s actual functioning, this item points to physiologic integrity. Vitamin A supplementation helps maintain essential bodily processes—vision, epithelial tissue integrity, and immune function—so it supports the body’s physical functioning and homeostasis. That’s the core of physiologic integrity: preserving and restoring how the body functions.

Health Promotion and Maintenance would involve activities aimed at preventing illness and promoting well-being through education and behavior change, which isn’t the direct maintenance of bodily systems in this context. Psychosocial Integrity relates to emotional, social, and mental health aspects, not the physiological aspects addressed by vitamin supplementation. The form used in this framework emphasizes physiologic integrity as the domain governing nutrition and bodily processes, hence the correct choice.
