A 24-hour recall is used to collect food intake data for one day. The client states that she didn't eat breakfast. She had a soft drink and an apple for lunch, and for dinner she had a slice of pizza. What is the best question the health care professional could ask next regarding this finding?

The best question to ask would be if this is typically what the client eats in a day. This allows for a better understanding of the client's typical eating patterns and helps identify any potential dietary concerns or areas for improvement. Asking about the pizza toppings or the client's food preferences would not provide a comprehensive overview of their eating habits, and asking about their schedule would not be directly related to their diet.
