Feedback:
There are various strategies that can be used to increase calorie and protein intake in a client with COPD who is reporting difficulty with early satiety. Avoiding "gassy" foods and limiting "empty" liquids will help him to not feel as full. Using a high-calorie, high-protein formula will increase the content but not necessarily the amount. Resting before eating, eating a soft diet, and using his bronchodilator are useful strategies if he is having difficulties with shortness of breath.
