The nurse is caring for a Native American in a rural rehabilitation facility. The nurse notices that the patient has eaten very little since his admission 10 days ago.
 
  When she asks the patient about his eating, he states, I can't eat any of this food. It just isn't what I eat at home and we don't prepare our foods this way. The nurse explains that the patient is on a very specific cardiac diet as a result of his heart attack and that he has lost 7 pounds since admission. Based on this scenario, what is/are the most appropriate nursing diagnosis(es) for this patient? Select all that apply.
  a. Noncompliance related to difficulty adhering to the medical regimen
  b. Possible Knowledge deficit related to disease process
  c. Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirement related to cultural dietary practices
  d. Decreased appetite related to anxiety secondary having a heart attack
