The mother of a 2-year-old is concerned because her child does not seem interested in eating.
 
  The child is drinking five to six cups of whole milk per day and one cup of fruit juice. When the weight-to-height percentile is calculated,the child is in the ninetieth to ninety-fifth percentile. What would be the best advice for the nurse to give this mother?
  1. Eliminate the fruit juice from thechild's diet.
  2. Offer healthy snacks,presented ina creative manner,and let the child choose what he or she wants to eat without pressure from the parents.
  3. Change from whole milk to2 percent milk and decrease milk consumption to three to four cups per day and the fruit juice to a half cup per day,offering water if the child is still thirsty in between.
  4. Make sure that the child is gettingadequate opportunities for exercise,as this will increase his or her appetite and help lower the child's weight-to-height percentile.
