Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high-kcalorie, high-protein diet would be the best choice for Mr. Whitaker to improve his nutrition status. This would provide him with the necessary nutrients and energy to fight his cancer and recover from treatment. A low-sodium diet and lactose-free diet may be necessary depending on his specific health needs, but they would not directly improve his nutrition status. A fat-restricted diet may be appropriate if he has other medical conditions, but it would not be the best choice for his current situation.
