If a patient skips meals, what will the dietitian first understand?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The reason for skipping meals and the resulting intake gap
Meal skipping may result from nausea, pain, poor appetite, limited money, lack of cooking support, a busy schedule, cultural habits, swallowing difficulty, or misunderstanding of the prescription. A dietitian must assess the cause, frequency, timing, and nutritional effect before giving advice. Understanding the intake gap allows an appropriate, realistic intervention instead of blaming the patient or giving unsuitable instructions.
