The school nurse realizes that many children do not eat breakfast before going to school. What should the nurse encourage the teachers to do?
a. Ask mothers to send in doughnuts for morning snacks
b. Allow children to eat an early lunch if they become hungry
c. Encourage children to bring in an extra snack to eat for breakfast
d. Refer children who have not eaten to the school's breakfast program
b. Allow children to eat an early lunch if they become hungry
Eating breakfast provides important nutrients for growth and is linked with good outcomes at school. Doughnuts are not a nutritional snack and contain high-sugar content. Eating lunch early may satisfy the feeling of hunger but children will not have food at lunchtime. Snacks are usually high in carbohydrates and sugar and do not provide the nutrients needed for growth.
