During a well-child visit, the nurse questions the mother about a toddler's food habits
The mother expresses concern that her child, who used to be a good eater and would eat all types of vegetables, now refuses all but three types of vegetables. Which is the appropriate response for the nurse to make to the mother? 1. "This is a serious concern, and we need to address this with the physician."
2. "Toddlers often go on food jags. Just continue to offer all types of vegetables without making it an issue."
3. "Don't make an issue over it. Just stop offering those favorite vegetables and the child will start eating other vegetables."
4. "Have you thought about adding a multivitamin to the child's daily routine?"

Rationale 1: Food jags are common in this age group.
Rationale 2: Food jags come and go. Unless the avoidance becomes extreme, it does not present a major problem.
Rationale 3: A variety of vegetables should be offered including the favorite ones.
Rationale 4: While a multivitamin is often a good idea during the toddler period, this statement does not address the mother's concern about the food jags.
