If a patient has a food allergy what should the dietitian ensure first?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Select safe alternatives to the allergy-causing food
The first priority is to identify and avoid the allergen and prevent accidental exposure. The dietitian should then select nutritionally adequate, safe substitutes, explain label reading and cross-contact precautions, and coordinate medical care when needed. Cost and appearance matter later, but they cannot replace allergy safety.
