The nurse assists the family of a 9-year-old with nutritional information. A recommended af-ter-school snack for a child this age is:
1. Milk shakes
2. Potato chips
3. Plain popcorn
4. Bite-size candy
ANS: 3
Plain popcorn, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, cheese, skim-milk pudding, and hot chocolate are ap-propriate after-school snacks. Thick milk shakes would be high in fat and calories. There are bet-ter food choices for after-school snacks. Potato chips should be discouraged as a snack because they are high in fat and low in nutritional value. Candy bars should be discouraged as a snack because they are high in fat and calories, are low in nutrition, and are cariogenic.
