Making fruits and vegetables available for daily snacks is the appropriate nursing action to enhance the child's intake of a healthy diet. This promotes the consumption of nutrient-dense foods and can help support weight loss or weight management efforts. Offering food as a reward for good grades can encourage emotional eating habits and does not promote a healthy relationship with food. Encouraging the consumption of high-fat foods and educating on the importance of soda consumption are not appropriate actions as they do not align with promoting a healthy diet.
