A nurse is reinforcing teaching about nutritional considerations with the parent of a toddler. The nurse should recognize that which statement made by the parent indicates correct information about nutrition?

A. Fruit juice is high in sugar and does not provide the same hydration as water. It is important to limit juice intake to avoid overconsumption of sugars and to encourage water as the primary fluid. B. Allowing a toddler unlimited sweets and snacks is not advisable, as it can lead to poor nutritional habits and imbalanced diet. Picky eating should be addressed with nutritious alternatives, not by offering sweets. C. Offering a variety of foods from different food groups ensures a balanced diet that includes essential nutrients for growth and development. This is the correct approach for toddler nutrition. D. Dairy products are an important source of calcium and vitamin D for toddlers. Avoiding them without a medical reason can result in nutritional deficiencies.
