Although all choice might seem appropriate, the one that the nurse can do to help the students is prepare a handout on healthy food choices. Sending letters to all parents would be inappropriate for those students who have a normal body mass index. Changing the curriculum would need to involve the entire school board and teachers. Personal counseling will take a significant amount of time and the nurse may not reach all of the students who would benefit from learning healthier nutritional practices.
