Q: How can clinical nutrition support palliative care?

By focusing on comfort, food tolerance and quality of life In palliative care, nutrition goals may shift from aggressive nutritional correction to comfort, dignity, symptom relief and quality of life, according to the patient’s wishes and clinical situation. The professional may suggest preferred textures, small portions and enjoyable foods while respecting consent. Forced feeding or automatic restriction is inappropriate. Thus, option A is correct.

Q: Clinical nutrition technology use depends on which balance?

Balancing digital support with professional judgement Digital tools can help record intake, calculate nutrients, monitor trends, support telecounselling and identify alerts. However, algorithms may miss culture, symptoms, access barriers, inaccurate self-reporting or clinical context. A qualified professional must verify information, protect privacy and make the final patient-centred decision. Therefore, option C is the safest and most accurate approach.
