Why is knowing only the disease name not enough in clinical nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because intake, tolerance, social circumstances, and nutrition risk are also essential
Two patients with the same diagnosis may differ in appetite, food intake, swallowing ability, digestion, allergies, symptoms, economic resources, culture, family support, and risk of malnutrition. These factors determine what is safe, acceptable, and achievable. Clinical nutrition therefore requires individualized assessment, not a disease label alone, making C correct.
