A) The client is being treated for nephritic syndrome, which could impact the amount of protein permitted to be eaten each day. The client should discuss dietary preferences with a dietician so that the client's nutritional needs will be met. An appetite stimulant is not going to improve the client's appetite if foods are provided that the client does not eat. The nurse should not encourage the client to eat foods that do not support the client's vegetarian diet. The nurse needs to help the client now and not have the client wait to go to home before having foods that the client wants to eat.
