In which condition is it important to check nutrition risk before reducing dietary fat?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In an underweight patient with low intake
Option A is correct because an underweight patient who already eats little may lose still more energy if fat is restricted unnecessarily. Fat is energy-dense and may help meet requirements in a small volume, although the type and amount must suit the disease. Nutritional status, symptoms, digestion, weight trend, and the reason for restriction should be assessed first.
