Which method may help a patient with poor appetite?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Giving small, frequent meals
Small, frequent meals can be easier to tolerate than three large meals when appetite is poor. Offering attractive, nutrient-dense foods in suitable portions may improve intake without causing fullness. The plan should still consider the patient’s illness, swallowing ability, symptoms, and medical restrictions.
