A, B, C, D
A nurse can obtain a dietary history during any routine assessment. The purpose is to collect baseline information about the patient's basic eating habits, food attitudes and preferences, cultural factors, and use of dietary supplements. A dietary history creates a picture of the patient's food habits and eating behaviors. A body mass index (BMI) is not part of the dietary history, although it is sometimes a part of a total nutritional assessment.
