In which situation is regular diet review most significant?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the patient's appetite, weight, or symptoms are changing

Alterations in appetite, body weight, gastrointestinal symptoms, or laboratory findings may show that the existing plan is no longer appropriate. Regular review allows the dietitian to adjust energy, nutrients, texture, portions, or timing. Hence, option A is correct.
