Question 352/859

A 15-year-old client was diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis at 8 months of age. He is in the hospital for a course of IV antibiotic therapy and vigorous chest physiotherapy. He has a poor appetite. The nurse can best help him to meet the desired outcome of consuming a prescribed number of calories by:

A. Including the client in planning sessions to select the type of meal plan and foods for his diet

B. Working with the nutritionist to devise a diet with significantly increased calories

C. Selecting foods for the client's diet that are high in calories and instituting a strict calorie count

D. Constantly providing him with chips, dips, and candies, because the number of calories consumed is more important than the quality of foods
