Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. The outcome goal that would be best for this adolescent male is: The child will ingest the appropriate number of calories for his age (50 calories per kilogram per 24 hours). This is an appropriate goal for this nursing diagnosis since the problem is poor caloric intake.
B Incorrect. The best outcome goal would not be that the child will take in three meals per day because there is no guarantee that the caloric intake will be increased.
C Incorrect. The best outcome goal would not be that there will be an improvement in appetite during the next 3 days. Simply improving the child's appetite does not guarantee in increase in calories.
D Incorrect. Although consultation with a dietician can assist in providing increased calories, this is not the best outcome goal. The child can be provided with more calorie dense foods, but he also must ingest them to prevent weight loss.
