C - Adolescent girls are considered to be at high risk for nutritional disorders. Increasing milk intake provides increased calcium and a balanced diet will provide the necessary vitamins and minerals. If adolescents are diagnosed with eating disorders early, the recovery chances are increased. Option A is incorrect; the question presents no information that indicates a need for decreasing her calories. Option B is incorrect; a person with a BMI of 35 would be obese. Option D is incorrect; a food diary is used for assessing eating habits, but the question asks for teaching factors related to good nutrition.
