Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Although the child may be a picky eater, the key point is that he is from a
different culture. The foods he is being served may seem strange to him.
B Nutrition plays an important role in healing. Although the energy the child
expends has decreased while on bed rest, he has increased needs for good
nutrition.
C When cultural differences are noted, food preferences should always be obtained.
A child will often refuse to eat unfamiliar foods.
D Although the nurse should determine whether the child is eating food the family
has brought from home, the more important point is to determine whether he has
food preferences.
