ANS: B
The nurse should reassure parents that food jags are normal at this age and that the tendencies will pass; also stress that a little patience will keep both parents and child from further gastrointestinal upsets. The nurse should also suggest that the parents not force the child to eat foods he or she is not interested in, but to provide a variety of nutritious foods during meals and for between-meal snacks in the amount appropriate for the child's age. The other options are not warranted.
