Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
To increase nutritional intake for the child receiving chemotherapy, the nurse should allow the child any food tolerated, fortify foods with nutritious supplements, and allow the child to be involved in food selection.

It is best to refrain from offering the child's favorite foods while the child is receiving chemotherapy
