A client asks the nurse why it is important to fill out a food frequency questionnaire. The nurse responds that a food frequency record is used to:
1. Determine nutrient excesses and deficiencies.
2. Provide baseline data for dietary planning.
3. Find out which supplements the client is taking.
4. Determine which foods have been consumed during the past 24 hours.
2
Rationale: The food frequency record asks clients to reveal how often they consume specific foods and beverages, along with portion sizes. This data serves as part of the baseline data for determining nutrient excesses or deficiencies and will then lead to dietary planning. Supplements are not part of the food frequency questionnaire, nor does it include the 24-hour recall.
