Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The prolonged use of vitamin or mineral supplements in amounts greater than their recommended dietary allowance (RDA) can lead to medical complications or interfere with the treatment of some diseases. A vitamin-mineral supplement history is necessary to determine whether patients may be contributing to a medical problem and for physicians to counsel patients about the appropriate use of vitamins and minerals. This article provides a three-phased guide for obtaining a comprehensive history of vitamin-mineral supplement use. Phase 1 determines current and past behaviors with respect to kind, dosage, frequency, duration, and constancy of supplement intake. Phase 2 considers patient beliefs about taking supplements and outcomes of supplement usage. Phase 3 outlines considerations important for patient guidance. A vitamin-mineral supplement history should be a routine component of every complete medical history. |
