What is NOT a recommended nutrition intervention for a child with cancer who is not eating enough?

  1. Serve small meals and snacks throughout the day

  2. Encourage liquids during meals to promote hydration

  3. Let the child participate in food preparation

  4. Serve meals on a tight schedule

The correct answer is: Serve meals on a tight schedule

Serving meals on a tight schedule is not a recommended nutrition intervention for a child with cancer who is not eating enough because it can create additional stress and pressure around mealtime. Children with cancer often experience changes in appetite and food preferences due to their condition or treatment, making it essential to create a positive and flexible eating environment.
