    A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving radiation therapy and is experiencing anorexia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Low-protein supplements are not recommended; high-protein, high-calorie foods are encouraged to maintain nutrition. B. Cold foods are often more tolerable for clients experiencing anorexia, as they are less odorous and may help reduce nausea. C. Serving the largest meal in the evening is inappropriate as appetite typically decreases later in the day; it’s better to serve meals when the client feels most hungry. D. Drinking large amounts of fluid with meals can lead to early satiety, reducing overall intake.
