    You are developing a care plan for an older adult in a long-term care facility that has a nutritional problem. Which interventions are appropriate to ensure adequate nutrition? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Provide a pleasant eating environment: A calm, inviting environment can enhance appetite and encourage food intake. B. Assign a nursing aide to feed the resident to ensure adequate consumption of meals: This may promote dependency unless the resident cannot feed themselves. Promoting independence is prioritized when possible. C. Provide nutritional supplements for the resident: Supplements can help meet dietary needs if intake is insufficient, especially in undernourished residents. D. Assess the resident for ability to feed himself or herself: Functional assessment helps determine the level of assistance needed and promotes independence. E. Supervise the resident during meals: Monitoring can encourage eating, prevent choking, and provide assistance when needed.
