Why can a patient's nutritional needs change over time?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Due to disease, activity, age and health recovery
A patient's requirements are not fixed because illness, treatment, age, body weight, physical activity, appetite, absorption and recovery can change. Fever or infection may increase needs, while reduced activity or impaired digestion may alter them. A dietitian therefore reassesses the patient regularly and modifies the plan according to the current condition. Hence, option A is correct.
