If a physician requested a patient receive more Vitamin D, what foods would you recommend?

"My recommendation would be based on their food preferences. For instance, if the patient is vegan, I would not recommend the typical salmon, tuna, or eggs. In the instance of a vegan, natural sunlight is best and perhaps a good supplement. Also, mushrooms are high in vitamin D."

As a dietitian or nutritionist, you know your foods rich in vitamin D like the back of your hand. Tell the interviewer how you would educate the patient about the importance of eating foods rich in vitamin D. If mushrooms, fish, and pork doesn't appeal to your patient, stress the importance of taking a daily cod liver oil capsule. Feel free to share a story about a time you needed a patient to take in more vitamin D and what the outcome was.
