The nurse in a hospital unit must develop a comprehensive plan of care for a school-age child. The question the nurse will ask the child that will be most helpful in data collection related to nutrition is:
1. "What did you have to eat so far today?"
2. "What is your favorite grocery store?"
3. "Do you eat school lunches or pack a lunch from home each day?"
4. "How do you feel about your weight and the way you look?"

Rationale:
1. Asking about eating habits contributes to the nutritional history but is not the most helpful individual aspect in establishing a comprehensive plan of care.
2. Asking about food selection at a grocery store contributes to the nutritional history but is not the most helpful individual aspect in establishing a comprehensive plan of care.
3. Asking about food selection at school contributes to the nutritional history but is not the most helpful individual aspect in establishing a comprehensive plan of care.
4. The best way to obtain information to include in the plan of care is to use a broad opening question. It also is important to ask information about the way the child feels about his body image.
