Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a diet recall, the client is prompted to remember all of the foods and beverages that have been ingested over the last 24 hours. The client who has difficulty remembering events may have trouble with this activity. Clients diagnosed with emphysema, Crohn disease, and polycystic kidney disease would be able to provide information about their intake over the last 24 hours; however, the client with early-onset dementia may provide inaccurate or unreliable information during this activity.
