Which food should be recommended for a client who is unable to be out in the sunlight and needs vitamin D?

1/2 cup boiled brussels sprouts
1 cup steamed long grain brown rice
2 large, poached eggs
6 medium raw strawberries

The correct answer is: 2 large, poached eggs

Vitamin D is commonly known as the "sunshine vitamin" because our bodies can produce it when our skin is exposed to sunlight. However, for clients who are unable to be out in the sunlight, they may need to obtain vitamin D from their diet or supplements. Option C, 2 large, poached eggs, is the correct choice because egg yolks are a good natural source of vitamin D. By consuming eggs, the client can supplement their vitamin D intake even if they are unable to get it from sunlight exposure. The other options do not contain significant amounts of vitamin D. While foods like brussels sprouts, brown rice, and strawberries have nutritional value, they are not reliable sources of vitamin D.
