Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The focus for a child undergoing chemotherapy should be on a balanced diet that includes grains, fruits, and vegetables (A), managing side effects of medications like opioids with high-fiber foods (B), and adjusting the diet for symptoms like diarrhea by potentially avoiding milk products (D). Concentrating primarily on high-calorie shakes and puddings (C) would not provide the balanced nutrition needed for recovery and overall health, making it the least likely option to be included in a teaching plan.
