Why should a dietitian know food availability?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To make a practical plan from available foods
A diet plan must fit the foods that are actually available in the patient’s locality, household, season, and budget. Knowledge of availability allows the dietitian to suggest realistic substitutions while maintaining nutritional adequacy and safety. A theoretically perfect plan that cannot be obtained will not be followed, so option B is correct.
