What is the purpose of giving more nutrition in small volume in an energy-dense diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To meet the nutrition needs of a patient with poor appetite
An energy-dense diet concentrates more calories and often more protein or nutrients in a smaller portion. It is useful when illness, early satiety, weakness, or poor appetite prevents the patient from eating large meals. Meals must remain balanced and clinically appropriate, and the plan should consider fluid, digestion, and disease restrictions.
