A nurse is reinforcing teaching about nutritional considerations with the parents of a toddler.
Which of the following statements by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A.

"Because he is such a picky eater, I will give him one of my vitamins each day."

B.

"The quality of food I provide him is more important than the quantity."

C.

"His average daily intake should be about 3,000 calories."

D.

"I should expect him to have an increased appetite."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.    Giving a toddler adult vitamins may lead to excessive intake of certain nutrients and is not recommended without consulting a healthcare provider.


B.    Quality of food is crucial for toddlers, as they have small stomachs. Providing nutrient-dense foods ensures that they receive essential vitamins and minerals.


C.    The average daily caloric intake for a toddler is considerably less than 3,000 calories. This statement reflects a misunderstanding of a toddler's nutritional needs.
 
D.    Toddlers typically have unpredictable appetites. While they may go through phases of increased appetite, it is not a consistent expectation. The emphasis should be on providing a balanced and nutritious diet.
