The best response for the nurse to make to the parent is, a. “It is important for your toddler to eat three meals a day and no snacks.” b. “It is not unusual for toddlers to eat less due to slower growth.” c. “Be sure to increase your child’s milk consumption, which will improve nutrition.” d. “Give your child a multivitamin daily to increase your toddler’s nutrition.” ANS: B Physiologically, growth slows and appetite decreases during the toddler period. So the nurse should assure the parent that this is normal behavior. Toddlers need small, frequent meals. Nutritious selection throughout the day, rather than quantity, is more important with this age- group. Milk consumption should not exceed 16 to 24 oz daily. Juice should be limited to 4 to 6oz. per day. Increasing the amount of milk will only further decrease solid food intake. Supplemental vitamins are important for all children, but they do not increase appetite.
