Why is ignoring micronutrients in a patient diet wrong?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They play roles in recovery and body functions
Vitamins and minerals are needed in small amounts but support immunity, blood formation, bone health, wound healing, enzyme activity and many other physiological processes. Illness can increase requirements or impair intake and absorption. A diet containing only calories and protein may still be inadequate, so option A is correct.
