Nutrition Through The Life Cycle
A four-year-old with asthma does not have food allergies. Her asthma routine requires a home breathing machine and two prescribed medications. Which statement is accurate about her nutrition needs?
- a. Her diagnosis is one of the more common types of special needs and is best managed by a reduced-calorie diet to compensate for restricted activity.
- b. Compliance with her nutrition recommendations can prevent emergency-room visits for flare-ups.
- c. Her prescribed medications could impact her appetite and growth and so require nutrition services.
- d. Asthma is likely to interrupt the normal progression of eating skills in a young child.
Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of lungs and airways caused by environmental, air-borne, and genetic factors. Some children having asthma also has food allergies for which they require nutrition services. Asthma flare-up is the condition when asthma symptoms become worse and create problems in breathing as well as for eating food. On the other hand, eating a balanced diet with high nutrients can also help in managing asthma.
Reasons for the correct answer:
Option c. is given as “Her prescribed medications could impact appetite and growth and so require nutrition services”.
The growth and appetite of a child suffering from asthma might be affected on being administered with the medication, as it can suppress hunger. Children with a serious breathing problem need extra energy intake. Therefore, he/she requires nutritional services.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as “Her diagnosis is one of the more common types of special needs and is best managed by a reduced-calorie diet to compensate for restricted activity”.
Reduced calories in the diet of the four-year-old can directly impact the growth of the child leading to a more severe problem. Though the activities of the child are restricted, she requires energy to keep breathing in order to move on from using the breathing machine...
