Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Recommend an increase in caloric intake to avoid excessive weight loss. While regular physical activity can increase caloric expenditure, it is not typically associated with excessive weight loss, especially in children. Prediabetes management focuses on lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity and healthy eating habits rather than increasing caloric intake.
B. Reassure the parents that increased physical activity reduces the risk for diabetes. Regular physical activity is beneficial for individuals with prediabetes as it improves insulin sensitivity, helps control weight, and reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
C. Suggest a less strenuous activity to reduce the risk for dehydration. Soccer can be a physically demanding sport, but proper hydration practices can help prevent dehydration. Encouraging the child to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after soccer practice or games can help
maintain hydration levels.

D. Instruct the family about the need to adjust the insulin dose before exercise. Prediabetes typically does not require insulin therapy. However, if the child progresses to diabetes and requires insulin, adjustments to insulin doses may be necessary to prevent hypoglycemia during exercise, but this is not relevant to the current scenario.

A. Whole wheat cereal with milk, bacon, and coffee. B. Pancakes, bacon, fruit, and milk. C. Scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, and orange juice. D. Bowl of hot oatmeal with milk, fruit, and lemon tea.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Whole wheat cereal with milk, bacon, and coffee is incorrect. While it contains some protein (milk and bacon), it lacks adequate protein and calorie density needed for burn healing.
B. Pancakes, bacon, fruit, and milk is incorrect. While this meal provides carbohydrates and some protein, it does not offer enough protein for optimal wound healing.
C. Scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, and orange juice is correct. Burn patients require high-protein and high-calorie meals to support tissue repair and metabolic demands. Eggs and sausage provide high-quality protein, while toast and juice add necessary carbohydrates for energy.
D. A bowl of hot oatmeal with milk, fruit, and lemon tea is incorrect. Although this meal has carbohydrates and some protein, it is not protein-dense enough for burn recovery.
