In a child's therapeutic diet attention should be given not only to disease but also to what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Growth and development
Children need nutrients not only to recover from illness but also to support normal growth, brain development, immunity, and activity. A therapeutic plan should therefore consider age, growth pattern, developmental stage, appetite, and the disease-related restrictions. Excessive restriction can impair growth, so the plan should be nutritionally adequate and monitored.
