Ans: B
The child is more likely to eat small amounts of foods of his choosing. This accommodates the child's reduced appetite, reassures his parents that he is not starving, and gives the child a sense of control. Straightening up the child's area before meals provides a more pleasant eating environment. The use of antiemetics controls nausea but may not increase appetite. Urging the child to eat a substantial meal is unnecessary and creates stress.
