a. "It is one aspect of healthy living."
Good nutrition promotes health and may prevent the onset of conditions like cardiovascular disease, some forms of diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Other aspects may include safety, interpersonal relations, coping mechanisms, etc. Good genes may play a role; however, a client cannot ignore the role of nutrition in promoting a healthy life. A good diet is important throughout the lifespan, and it is never too late to make changes. The nurse ignores teaching opportunities when dismissing a client by suggesting that a long life is likely because of eating a good diet.
