Question 8 • Nursing Assistant - EL3610
Knowing a patient’s dietary beliefs, needs, and restrictions helps ensure that the food they receive is safe and meets their nutritional requirements. For example, a restriction may rule out certain foods, while a health need may call for specific nutrients. This makes “ensuring patients are receiving proper nutrition” the best choice; reducing food waste or serving favorite foods may happen, but those are not the main purpose.
