When will attractive food presentation help nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it increases acceptance and intake of safe food
Attractive presentation can stimulate appetite, improve acceptance and encourage a patient to eat an adequate portion, particularly when illness, poor appetite or treatment has reduced food intake. However, appearance must never be achieved by compromising cleanliness, safe temperature or nutritional quality. Presentation supports nutrition only when the food is safe and appropriately planned. Hence, option A is correct: attractive, safe food may improve acceptance and intake, whereas contamination or loss of nutrients would be harmful.
