In which condition is increasing energy density useful during recovery?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the patient can eat little but energy need is high
Energy density means the amount of energy supplied by a given weight or volume of food. It is useful when illness, fatigue, early satiety, or poor appetite limits food volume while recovery increases energy requirements. Nutrient-rich additions and suitable fortification can provide more energy in a small portion, provided the plan remains safe and medically appropriate. Hence, option A is correct.
