A) Provide a maximum of 500 mg of cholesterol daily.
B) Encourage the child to learn by himself about good food choices.
C) Instruct the parents to provide only 10% of calories from fat.
D) Instruct the parents to introduce new foods in small servings.
D
Feedback:
When introducing new foods at the table, the client's parents are instructed to offer them one at a time in small servings. A maximum of 300 mg of cholesterol is to be provided to prevent the incidence of heart attack. The client's parents are suggested to teach the child how to make good food choices and to avoid completely nonnutritive, high-calorie, high-fat snacks. A minimum of 30%, and not 10%, of the calories should come from fat, with only 10% coming from saturated fats.
