Gina is a busy single mother. She works as a nurses' aide and, now that her son is in grade school, she is training to be a registered nurse so she can get a better job. During the week she gets her son to school and then goes to school herself. She works second shift (3:00 to 11:30 PM) and gets home around midnight. Her parents live close by and are able to pick up her son from school, take care of him during the evening, feed him dinner, and get him to bed. She does not have time to think about what to eat during the week. She eats breakfast cereal for breakfast and dinner and usually eats fast food for lunch On the weekends she tries to prepare meals for herself and her son. She figures she will only be in school for a few years and for now she can get what she needs to keep herself healthy by taking a daily multivitamin Questions 1. Can Gina get all the vitamins she needs by taking a once-a-day vitamin? 2. How could Gina get more vitamins from food during the week? 3. Gina drinks approximately six cups of coffee a day to help her stay awake and keep up with her busy schedule. What effect could this have on her vitamin needs, and what could she do about it?
