A Resident in a Skilled Nursing Facility Eats Nutritional Pudding

A resident in a skilled nursing facility eats nutritional pudding supplements throughout the day and refuses and is too full to eat regular meals. Which action should the nurse take?

A) Ask the kitchen to provide the client with small portions of meals since they are discarded anyway
B) Ignore the problem since the client probably gets more nutrients eating the supplements than eating the meals
C) Inform the client that too many servings of pudding are not good and meals are a better nutritional option
D) Post a chart that staff must sign when they give the client pudding, and limit the servings to twice a day at least two hours before or after meals
