A client has come to the clinic with the repeat complaint of constipation. The nurse is aware that the diet may be the reason.

People who eat a lot of convenience products may have a problem with constipation because their diet is consistently low in what? A) Vitamin C B) Fiber C) Sodium D) Protein

Question 2

Mr. H is concerned that this 3-year-old son only wants to eat peanut butter and jelly at every meal. The nurse should encourage him to:

1. Insist his son eats whatever food are prepared for the meal.
2. Provide his son only with peanut and butter and jelly if that is what he wants.
3. Continue to offer a variety of foods but allow him to eat the peanut butter and jelly if he prefers.
4. Allow him to get up and move around while he is eating.

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Convenience foods tend to be high in sodium; relatively low in fiber; and provide little to no fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Insisting that toddlers eat certain foods does not usually lead to compliance. Providing his son with peanut butter and jelly only will limit his food choices and decrease the likelihood of trying other foods. Parents should continue to offer a variety of foods but allow the child to consume their single choice. Remaining seated at a table can affect the quality of a toddler's food intake.
